ANNEX VI U.K. POLICIES AND MEASURES INFORMATION IN THE AREA OF GHG EMISSIONS

Information to be included in the reports referred to in Article 18:

(a)

a description of their national system for reporting on policies and measures, or groups of measures, and for reporting on projections of anthropogenic GHG emissions by sources and removals by sinks pursuant to Article 39(1) or information on any changes made to that system where such a description has already been provided;

(b)

updates relevant to their long-term strategies referred to in Article 15 and progress in implementing those strategies;

(c)

information on national policies and measures, or groups of measures, and on implementation of Union policies and measures, or groups of measures, that limit or reduce GHG emissions by sources or enhance removals by sinks, presented on a sectoral basis and organised by gas or group of gases (HFCs and PFCs) listed in Part 2 of Annex V. That information shall refer to applicable and relevant national or Union policies and shall include:

(i)

the objective of the policy or measure and a short description of the policy or measure;

the type of policy instrument;

(iii)

the status of implementation of the policy or measure or group of measures;

(iv)

indicators used to monitor and evaluate progress over time;

(v)

where available, quantitative estimates of the effects on emissions by sources and removals by sinks of GHGs broken down into:

• the results of ex ante assessments of the effects of individual or groups of policies and measures on the mitigation of climate change. Estimates shall be provided for a sequence of four future years ending with 0 or 5 immediately following the reporting year, with a distinction between GHG emissions covered by Directive 2003/87/EC, Regulation (EU) 2018/842 and Regulation (EU) 2018/841,

• the results of ex post assessments of the effects of individual or groups of policies and measures on the mitigation of climate change where available, with a distinction between GHG emissions covered by Directive 2003/87/EC, Regulation (EU) 2018/842 and Regulation (EU) 2018/841;

(vi)

available estimates of the projected costs and benefits of policies and measures, as well as estimates of the realised costs and benefits of policies and measures;

all existing references to the assessments of the costs and effects of national policies and measures, to information in the implementation of Union policies and measures that limit or reduce GHG emissions by sources or enhance removals by sinks and to the underpinning technical reports;

(viii)

an assessment of the contribution of the policy or measure to the achievement of the long-term strategy referred to in Article 15;

(d)

information on planned additional national policies and measures, or groups of measures, envisaged with a view to limiting GHG emissions beyond their commitments under Regulation (EU) 2018/842 and Regulation (EU) 2018/841;

(e)

information regarding the links between the different policies and measures, or groups of measures, reported pursuant to point (c) and the way such policies and measures, or groups of measures, contribute to different projection scenarios.
