The Action Plan for 2020-23, adopted by the Government in December 2019, sets out the government's agenda until 2023.&nbsp;<br><br>Section 9.8 of the Plan is focused on strengthening the legal framework for air protection and climate change. It sets out a package of legislative measures to be designed and adopted during the period, including a low emission development strategy.

The National Development Strategy "Moldova - 2030" is a strategic vision document that indicates the direction of development of the country and society in the next decade based on the principle of the human life cycle, his rights and quality of life, and which includes the following four pillars of sustainable development: a sustainable and inclusive economy, reliable human and social capital, respected and effective institutions, and a healthy environment. The plan identifies the fact that climate change poses risks and opportunities and that these need to be assessed as part of the development agenda.

Decision no 274 of May 18th, 2015, approves the Strategy on Biological Diversity of the Republic of Moldova for the period 2015-2020.

The Strategy identifies climate change as a direct threat to biodiversity (section 3, 24.) and charges the government to study climate change effects on biodiversity and how it adapts to it. It further seeks to 1) develop technologies to improve adaptability of forestry ecosystems to climate change, and 2) planting 500 ha of degraded areas and improving ecosystems for 4 local species.

This document defines the government's strategy to develop the agriculture sector and rural areas over the period 2014-2020.

It aims to ensure a sustainable management of natural resources in agriculture. This should notably be done by increasing the use of renewable energy resources in the sector, and by reducing the vulnerability of crop productions to climate change.

This 2014 decision by the Government of the republic of Moldova adopts the Government's Climate Change Adaptation Strategy and the action plan to implement it. The decision includes provisions for the implementation of the plan to be monitored by the Ministry of the Environment and tasks the central government with developing sectoral strategies to implement the plan and local governments with taking action to meet the plan's targets. The strategy and action plan are attached as annexes to the decision and cover a wide range of measures to address climate impacts in the agricultural sector, water resources management sector, health sector, forest sector, energy sector and transport sector. The strategy aims to increase the capacity of Moldova to adapt and respond to actual or potential climate change effects and has three specific objectives: 1. Create by 2018 the institutional framework in the field of climate change that would assure the efficient implementation of adaptation measures at the national, sector and local levels. 2. Create by 2020 a mechanism to monitor the climate change impacts, the related social and economic vulnerability and for the management/dissemination of the information on risks and climate disasters. 3. Assure the development of climate resilience by reducing at least by 50% the climate change risks and facilitate climate change adaptation in six priority sectors by 2020.

This law implements the EU Directive 2012/27/EU in Moldova. It creates the legal framework for regulation of energy efficiency in both energy supply and use.

This law creates the framework for the application of Directive 2009/28 / EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 April 2009 on the promotion of energy from renewable sources. The law mandates a new centralised specialist body to develop a national plan to achieve renewable energy targets drawn from the Directive, as well as making provision for a number of other bodies to play a role in monitoring and regulating compliance with the law and laying down the basic political objectives and regulatory support mechanisms for the deployment of renewable energy resources.&nbsp;<br><br>

This act defines the Moldovan government's competencies with respect to energy efficiency in the buildings sector. requires the government to approve national plans and programs to increase energy efficiency in buildings, to create financial incentives for renovating existing buildings, and to promote energy efficiency in new construction. It compels Moldova's construction authority to create and implement national energy efficiency policies for buildings, as well as technical regulations and guidelines for implementing them. It allows Moldova's energy efficiency authority to oversee construction management, as well as to develop and implement a national compliance system. Lastly, it requires local governments to integrate energy efficiency considerations into all of their planning activities.

This act defines the Moldovan government's overall priorities and competencies for energy efficiency. Specifically, it requires the government to define a national energy efficiency policy, approve energy efficiency programs and monitor their implementation, ensure the development, review, and approval of regulations, review and approve financial and economic incentives for energy efficiency, control procedures for organising energy efficiency bodies, and control the use of government funds.

It also requires government to establish an energy efficiency body to develop energy efficiency programs, help implement and monitor them, develop state expertise, cooperate with the private sector, agree on standards and certification for energy efficient products, coordinate scientific research, coordinate training, and coordinate international cooperation.
