This decree introduces an emissions trading scheme for major industrial producers.&nbsp;

This plan aims introduces a climate resilience framework to project planning, design and establishment of institutional frameworks concerning road infrastructure in Montenegro. Its key objectives are to decrease the number of road accidents in non-climate resilient road sectors, ensure sustainable maintenance of road infrastructure in line with adaptation costs and other climate resilience measures and prepare in case of severe climate events such as flooding, landslides, rockslides and fires. The plan further identifies technical, regulatory, financial, institutional and social issues that might impede timely solutions to improving the climate resilience aspects of roads in the country.

This extensive document sets the national strategy and action plan on the environment and climate change over the period 2016-2020. It is designed in order to transpose a number of EU directives and achieve progressive alignment to the Union's norms, with regard to climate change mitigation and adaptation actions, and environmental protection.

This extensive document sets Montenegro's sustainable strategy to 2030. Climate change mitigation is one of the main issue to be addressed in the document. Energy and industry are primary sectors where the country aims to focus mitigation efforts. The document further seeks to protect ecosystems, and notably forests, to the effects of climate change.

Montenegro has set the following 7 strategic targets to be achieved by 2020: the de facto practice of biodiversity protection (identified as one of the most important social and political priorities for overall development); biodiversity protection by all stakeholders and by employing a multisectoral approach; development of an efficient financing mechanism for biodiversity protection and adaptation for a sustainable biodiversity economy (as part of a green economy); significant reduction in identified direct pressures on biodiversity; creation of preconditions and implementation of targeted measures for biodiversity protection; creation of environmental infrastructure as the basis for national biodiversity conservation; and improvement, systematization and wide and equitable availability of biodiversity knowledge through developed mechanisms.
Operational targets include implementing measures to mitigate the impacts of climate change by implementing the National Climate Change Strategy.

This decree identifies all greenhouse gas emitting activities for which emission licences are required. It is based on the provisions of Montenegro's Climate Change Law.&nbsp;

This regulation determines the methodologies and procedures required to measure greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from stationary plants. It is based on the provisions of Montenegro’s Climate Change Law.&nbsp;

This decree determines the activities that emit greenhouse gases (GHG) and require emission licences, including both activities for which a GHG emission permit is issued and for which a GHG emission permit is not issued. It indicates the total amount of emission credits granted to the activities under review, specifies the requirements for actions allocating emission credits, and regulates the minimum price of emission credits, as well as their recording, transfer, and use. It is based on the provisions of Montenegro’s Climate Change Law.&nbsp;&nbsp;

This regulation determines the necessary documentation to issue permits to the use and maintenance of equipment and products that contain ozone-depleting substances. It is based on the provisions of Montenegro's Climate Change Law.&nbsp;

This regulation determines the acceptance conditions of carbon dioxide flows and of access to its transport network. It is based on the provisions of Montenegro's Climate Change Laws.&nbsp;&nbsp;
