Mitigation National Plan 2021-2030

The Plan should cover the five dimensions of the Energy Union:

1. Security, solidarity and trust

2. A fully-integrated internal energy market

3. Energy Efficiency

4. Climate action – decarbonising the economy

5. Research, innovation and competiteveness

New Regulation on governance currently in

final steps of negotiations at EU level

Requires Member States to setup the necessary national system in order to prepare

and implement a national plan that includes all climate

change and energy planning

The only goal of the National Plan is to design

a strategy to reach the national 2030 emission

reduction target

Conclusions


Conclusions Climate change mitigation & adaptation national plans

• Despite the ambitious target to be undertaken by Cyprus to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, we are optimistic that by developing and implementing the appropriate policies and measures, will achieve its goal. Simultaneously Cyprus will decrease its dependency on fossil fuels imports, will enhance its competitiveness, create new jobs and transit to a low carbon economy.

• The adoption of Adaptation actions is expected to positively contribute to the promotion of sustainable, green and blue growth, rational resource management, improved production efficiency and infrastructure protection. It is also expected to contribute to the growth of the economy with new opportunities for both the market, investments in innovative technologies and products resistant to climate change as well as employment in many sectors and stimulation of small and medium-sized enterprises and substantially contribute to the protection and improvement of public health, well-being and quality of life for our citizens, as well as protecting our cultural heritage.
