Summary

According to the bill, the Riigikogu's decision of April 5, 2017 "Basic principles of climate policy until 2050" will be amended, which stipulate that by 2050 Estonia will be a climate-neutral country with a competitive, knowledge-based society and economy, with a high-quality and species-rich living environment and the willingness and ability to reduce the adverse effects caused by climate change and make the best use of the positive effects. Also sees the change stated that Estonia's long-term goal is to balance greenhouse gas emissions and sequestration by 2050 at the latest and to reduce net greenhouse gas emissions to zero by then. The explanatory letter states that the fundamentals were agreed upon in the long-term vision of Estonian climate policy, sectoral and economy-wide policy directions, which set a clear path to the year 2050 for mitigating climate change, i.e. greenhouse gas emissions to reduce and also to adapt to the effects of climate change. Interim changes in the climate policy and its goals both in the EU and in Estonia have caused a contradiction with the basic principles of the current climate policy. The purpose of the bill is to bring the fundamentals into line with the goals of the climate policy agreed in the EU. The valid text of the fundamentals states that Estonia's long-term goal is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by nearly 80 percent by 2050 compared to 1990 emission levels. Today, the EU and Estonia have taken steps to achieve a climate-neutral EU by 2050.
