An approach with a Business-as-Usual scenario projection to 2020 for the Covenant of Mayors from the Eastern Partnership
The methodology for the Covenant of Mayors – East needed to be extended with a business-as-usual
projection of the emissions for 2020, from which national coefficients for the previous years are
derived. In this way, signatories will be able to do their emission inventories of the present situation,
and estimate which their emissions in 2020 will be. Then they will commit to an emission reduction
target based on their projections of emissions for 2020 following the business-as-usual scenario. The
factors are country-specific, calculated both for CO2 and CO2eq (CO2, CH4, N2O using the
GWP100metric) in order to allow signatories to choose the approach they prefer. Moreover an urban
dimension is provided, providing a margin on the projections.
