Estonia
Estonia has achieved a notable reduction in greenhouse gas emissions thanks mainly to lowering its reliance on electricity generation from domestic oil shale, an energy rich sedimentary rock. However, oil shale remains the main energy source and imported fossil fuels still plan a major role, especially in transport. Estonia’s forests, which historically offset significant greenhouse gas emissions, have become a net emissions source. Estonia is aiming to accelerate its clean energy transition with a target to cover 100% of annual electricity demand with renewables by 2030 as part of a larger package to achieve climate neutrality by 2050. It…

Act Relating to Norway's Climate Targets
The purpose of this Act is to promote the implementation of Norway's climate targets as part of its process of transformation to a low-emission society by 2050. Norway’s Climate Change Act establishes GHG emission targets of at least 40 percent reduction by 2030 compared with 1990 (Sec. 3), and 90-95 percent reduction by 2050 (Sec. 4).The Act applies to all greenhouse gases covered by Norway’s first submission under the Paris Agreement (Sec. 2), which included methane. The targets shall be reviewed every 5 years (Sec. 5). The law also requires annual reporting of all…

United Kingdom
The United Kingdom has been an early player in the energy transition, being among the first countries to set a net zero target by 2050 and to put in place carbon budgets. UK emissions have already fallen by around 50% since 1990, indicating a strong start. Looking ahead, an important pillar of the energy transition will be decarbonising the power sector through sizeable new investments in renewables and nuclear while also focusing on new technologies such as CCUS, hydrogen and small modular reactors. As a historic oil and gas producer, the UK is looking to address declining North Sea production…
