The National Emissions Reduction Programme (NERP) is the fundamental conceptual material in the area of air quality and reduction of emissions from sources of air pollution. It is implemented on the basis of Article 8 of Act 201/2012 Coll., on Air Protection. The first Programme was adopted in 2007 and its latest version was approved in December 2023. The Programme complies with the requirements set by the Directive (EU) 2016/2284 on the reduction of national emissions of certain atmospheric pollutants for so called national air pollution control programmes (Article 6 of the Directive). The main objective of the NERP is to meet the national emission reduction commitments applicable from 2020 to 2029 and from
2030 onwards, as laid down by the Directive. For the implementation of the Programme a set of 3 priority measures, 11 subsidiary measures and 6 cross-sectional measures has been introduced at the national level directly aimed to reduce emissions and to improve air quality.
