The Kyoto mechanisms are projected to account for 2.5 % of the EUtarget of an 8 % reduction, and the carbon sink activities are projected to contribute to an additional 0.9 %

Additional information

Thus, both hypothetical linear target paths presented here start at 100 in 1990, but in 2010 one reaches 92.0 while the other reaches 92.0 + 3.4. For more information on Kyoto mechanisms and carbon sinks, see Chapters 7 and 9.
