GHG mitigation policies in major emitting countries: an overview of recently adopted and under development policies

The report identifies about 50 policies from July 2018 to May 2019 in 25 countries, noting that the energy sector saw the most activity with 29 entries. While most policies aim to reduce emissions, the document highlights emissions-increasing policies in Argentina and the United States. Additionally, it notes that of the 25 countries, four have submitted long-term GHG strategies to the UNFCCC and five have developed drafts or domestic strategies.

• Between July 2018 and May 2019, the energy sector was the primary area of policy activity with 29 entries, followed by transport (six), forestry (six), industry and industrial processes (two), and agriculture and waste (two), alongside seven cross-sectoral policies.
• While the majority of policy developments are intended to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, specific policies in Argentina regarding fossil fuel exploration and regulatory rollbacks in the United States are expected to increase emissions.
• Regarding long-term GHG emissions development strategies among the 25 assessed countries, four have submitted strategies to the UNFCCC and five have either adopted them domestically or developed drafts.
