11 Economic instruments and financial support mechanisms Performance and Energy Efficiency Standards Environmental Tax -> Environmental Investment Program Emissions Trading -> Special Program for Climate Change Tariffs Subsidies Tax Incentives EU structural and investment funds (22.6% climate related projects) Combination of economic instruments 11

12 Special Program for Climate Change In revenues were 136 million EUR, from which 125 million EUR were allocated for energy efficiency and renewable energy projects m EUR Special Program for Climate Change revenues in

13 Special Program for Climate Change Allocation of revenues according to projects type, million EUR Other costs: 11 Public transportation projects: 28 Energy efficiency projects: 55 RES projects: 42 13

14 Special Program for Climate Change: Other measures Implementation of other measures which does not result in quantitative reduction of GHG emissions (8%) Measures of the Action Plan for the implementation of the Strategy for National Climate Change Management Policy. Projects on public information, education and scientific research and dissemination of their results in the area of climate change management. Measures of adaptation and mitigation implemented within the territory of Lithuania and in the developing countries. Lithuania s contribution to international climate finance. Programme administration costs (evaluation and selection of projects, reporting, accounting, legal framework, etc.). 14

15 Implementation of climate related targets in 2012 Reduction of GHG emissions more than 56% to compare with 1990 level under KP CP1. Energy consumption reduced almost 5% to compare with 2009 level. Use of renewable energy sources amounts to nearly 21.7% of the total energy consumption. 15
