| Abstract | In the process of extending the Covenant of Mayors action towards the East, the specificity of the economic situation of the countries involved in this programme was carefully analysed as well as the implications of using the methodology of the original Covenant of Mayors EU, as described in the Guidebook "How to develop a Sustainable Energy Action Plan (SEAP)". The first aspect that was considered was the choice of the baseline year: choosing 1990 (as recommended for the EU countries) was not considered appropriate because of the drastic economic collapse that followed the fall of the Soviet Union, resulting in a CO2 emissions reduction of more than 50% in a few years. Therefore, a recent baseline year was the recommended choice. On the other side, since the countries covered by this project are recovering from the economic collapse of the 1990s, imposing a reduction of CO2 emissions in absolute terms was a questionable choice in terms of feasibility. Therefore it was considered necessary that, the opportunity to calculate a target based on a reference scenario, called business-as-usual (BAU) (defined as a continuation of the current trend) to 2020 should be given to signatories willing to do so (besides the absolute and the per capita reduction options). This option of using Business as Usual Scenarios would avoid a burden to the signatories in their economic aspiration and would allow social and economical progress after the economic collapse in the 1990s. Based on these considerations, IES-JRC team developed a methodology according to which the 11 post-sovietic countries will be given the possibility to use a business-as-usual (BAU) scenario to estimate their emissions in 2020 and to calculate their emissions reduction accordingly. 58 L B -N A -2 5 8 0 4 -E N -N ISBN 978-92-79-28529-5 |
