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.
The detailed methodology used for the quality assurance and quality control procedure for national and Union GHG projections is outlined in a report by the ETC/ACM in 2015
