Belarus’ emission reduction target
Belarus communicated a target of a 5–10 per cent emission reduction by 2020 compared with 1990 levels, which is premised on: the existence of and access of Belarus to the flexibility mechanisms under the Kyoto Protocol; the intensification of technology transfer, capacity-building and enhancing the experience of Belarus, taking into consideration the special conditions of the Annex I Parties undergoing the process of transition to a market economy; as well as there being clarity on the use of new rules and modalities for land use, land-use change and forestry (LULUCF).
