It defines indicative 2030 emissions targets for all sectors. Since the plan was approved the Slovenian government has adopted several additional strategic documents to meet 2020 energy and climate targets and implement EU Directives in the field of energy efficiency and renewable sources of energy most of which also contain a 2030 perspective. To meet its climate change mitigation obligations Slovenia urgently needs to build a nexus between sustainable transport energy efficiency renewable energies and sustainable climate-protecting land use that strengthens biodiversity. In particular it must define measures to meet its commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in line with EU policy and speed up the implementation of the adopted measures integrating all linked impacts to ensure synergies and mobilise all possible non-LIFE funds needed to fill in this implementation gap.OBJECTIVESThe LIFE IP CARE4CLIMATE project supports the implementation of Slovenias operational plan for greenhouse gases and national action plan on energy efficiency 2014-2020. It will tackle implementation gaps and bottlenecks to enable 2030 targets in the plans to be met quicker and most cost effectively. The project will increase resources and competencies to enable measures to be well-prepared and implementation to be better coordinated. This will involve a focus on improving stakeholder capacity and involvement and on the modernisation of organisational procedures for the preparation of new legal instruments. A third objective is to set up an efficient monitoring system for the implementation of the measures foreseen in the operational plan for greenhouse gases including monitoring of carbon dioxide emission sinks systematic monitoring of the effectiveness of awareness-raising and training activities and monitoring of green public procurement uptake. LIFE IP CARE4CLIMATE will also mobilise complementary sources of funding to ensure cross-sectoral emissions reduction and contribute to related objectives including climate change adaptation lowering air pollution pollutant emissions and the provision of a reliable energy supply.
