The Environment Agency will ensure the quality of the data included in the National GHG Inventory in accordance with the Enhanced Transparency Framework of the UNFCCC. This information needs to be submitted to the UNFCCC Secretariat every two years. With the support of the EU4Climate project, the Environmental Agency specialists are trained to use the UNFCCC Guide on Quality Assurance and Quality Control of GHG Emission Data in all sectors of the economy,

The Republic of Moldova is planning to have a more robust system for monitoring greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and reporting to specialized international bodies. A roadmap in this regard has been developed with the support of the European Union and the United Nations Development Programme, within the EU4Climate project.

A low-emission national development program was developed by experts from the EU4Climate project, funded by the EU and implemented by UNDP, to translate Moldova’s commitments under the Paris Climate Agreement into national development policies. These were expressed in the updated NDC, submitted by the Republic of Moldova in 2020 to the UNFCCC. According to its NDC, Moldova will unconditionally reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) by 70% compared to 1990 to 2030, and by 88% if it has access to technical and financial assistance in this regard.

According to EU4Climate experts, the waste management sector has the potential to achieve 15-20% GES reductions by implementing measures to recycle and recover the material and energy value of waste. These can be achieved by actively applying the principle of “waste hierarchy” and transposing European circular economy directives into national legislation. Of all emissions generated globally, half are related to production and can be reduced by 30% through circular economy measures.

Endowed with fertile soils, agriculture is Moldova’s lifeblood. Around 57 percent of the population live in rural areas, with more than one-third employed in the crop and livestock sectors. Climate change is driving more extreme weather across Moldova’s rolling steppes, tons, and cities. The country projects that if no mitigation and adaptation measures are taken, the losses instigated by global warming and extreme weather events will reach $1.3 billion annually by 2050.

The Republic of Moldova has initiated the process of updating the Development Strategy with low emissions by 2030 based on updated, more ambitious greenhouse gases reduction targets set in the Nationally determined Contribution to the Paris Agreement, presented to the UNFCCC Secretariat in March 2020. The strategy will be developed with the support of the EU4Climate project and will address the main sectors responsible foe GHG emissions.

Moldova dares to lead the way in climate action, even being severely affected by global warming. The ambition is to transform this challenge into an opportunity for development. The Republic of Moldova has recently become the fourth country in the world to present its second National Determined Contribution (NDC), developed with the support of EU and UNDP. After the lockdown caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, we have the opportunity to relaunch economies towards low-emissions basis.
