Human emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases are the primary drivers of the global rise in temperatures. 1 This link between global temperatures and greenhouse gas concentrations – especially CO 2 – has been true throughout Earth''s history. 2.

READ MORETo reduce CO 2 emissions and exposure to local air pollution, we want to transition our energy systems away from fossil fuels towards low-carbon sources. Low-carbon energy sources include nuclear and renewable technologies. This interactive chart allows us to see the country''s progress on this. It shows the share of energy that comes from low
READ MORE1. Introduction. The energy transition process to a low-carbon and more sustainable electricity sector depends largely on the use of renewables [[1], [2], [3]].But, in addition to higher shares of renewable energy resources, this process also requires complementary innovations such as energy storage, smart grids, demand response,
READ MORERoughly two-thirds of those benefits would be realized even if only the United States reduced emissions. "What we found was that there was a real difference across time, that you have to spend a lot of money now to deal with climate change and transition your economy to renewable energy, and your cars to electric vehicles, electrify
READ MOREA broad consensus is emerging that carbon pricing will be an important instrument in achieving climate goals. The early inclusion of the Albania in the Emissions Trading Scheme could be explored. It could be a key tool to create economic incentives for climate action and help smoothen the transition to climate-neutrality.
READ MOREWe argue that despite low prices, carbon markets can help reduce emissions. Using a statistical model and sectoral emissions data, we find that the EU ETS, which initially regulated roughly 50% of EU carbon emissions from mainly energy production and large industrial polluters, saved more than 1 billion tons of CO 2 between
READ MOREAlthough being a low emitter, national GHG emissions are projected to grow considerably in the next years. Additionally Albania''s greenhouse emission reduction potential is relevant especially in the energy and forestry/agriculture sectors. Despite its potential, Albania has lacked behind in carbon markets positioning.

READ MOREIn its first NDC, Albania had committed to reduce CO2 emissions by 11.5% between 2016 and 2030 compared with the baseline scenario (Republic of Albania, 2016[13]). The enhanced NDC covers gases other than CO2
READ MOREThe INDC of Albania is a baseline scenario target: it commits to reduce CO2 emissions compared to the baseline scenario in the period of 2016 and 2030 by 11.5 %. This reduction means 708 kT carbon‐dioxide emission reduction in 2030. The emission trajectory of Albania allows to have a smooth trend of achieving 2 tons of greenhouse gas

This assessment shows that limiting warming to around 2°C (3.6°F) still requires global greenhouse gas emissions to peak before 2025 at the latest, and be reduced by a quarter by 2030.
