Methodology:
- Two types of projections are presented: Projections WEM: projections with existing measures (taking into account the existing domestic policies and measures). Projections WAM: projections with additional measures (taking into account existing and additional domestic policies and measures). Domestic policies and measures are those taking place within the national boundaries. Existing policies and measures are those for which one or more of the following applies: a) national legislation is in force; b) one or more voluntary agreements have been established; c) financial resources have been allocated; d) human resources have been mobilised; e) an official government decision has been made and there is a clear commitment to proceed with implementation. Additional (planned) policies and measures are options under discussion with a realistic chance of being adopted and implemented in time to influence the emissions during the commitment period. Important note on 2010 projection data: The projections reported in the viewer might not necessarily reflect exactly the projections initially reported by countries, as these were corrected by EEA for consistency reasons: 1. Five EU Member States reported, separately from their WEM projections, an estimated effect of the EU ETS on their national emissions. To take this effect into account (as other countries did in their own projections), the EEA added it to the projections WEM initially reported by these five Member States. The corrected WEM projections are reported in the GHG viewer. 2. Many countries have based their projections on base-year emissions that differ from the base-year emissions reported by these countries in their initial report under the Kyoto Protocol to the UNFCCC. Such differences might occur, for example, due to recalculations of base-year emissions after a methodology improvement or after external review of the inventory data. As a result, the 2010 projections reported by countries might not be consistent with the GHG inventory data from the viewer (consistent with the base-year emissions from the initial report under the Kyoto Protocol). Therefore, in order to obtain full consistency between base-year emissions, past emissions (1990-2005) and projected emissions (2010), the projections reported by countries were base-year corrected.

Additional information
Data reported by countries under the EU Greenhouse Gas Monitoring Mechanism (EU Member States) and/or to the UNFCCC. Two types of projections are presented: projections taking into account the (current) existing domestic policies and measures (WEM, with existing measures) and projections taking also into account additional (planned) domestic policies and measures (WAM, with additional measures). Cf. Methodology.
