Abstract
This policy document outlines Lithuania's National Climate Change Management Agenda, setting ambitious targets for greenhouse gas emission reductions and climate change adaptation up to 2050. The agenda aims to transition Lithuania to a climate-neutral and circular economy by 2050, with interim targets for 2030 and 2040. It covers various sectors including energy, transport, agriculture, industry, waste management, and land use. Key goals include increasing renewable energy use, improving energy efficiency, promoting sustainable mobility, enhancing climate resilience in agriculture and ecosystems, and developing green infrastructure in urban areas. The policy emphasizes the importance of research and innovation, public education, and international cooperation in addressing climate change. It also outlines horizontal policies such as integrating climate considerations into decision-making processes, implementing carbon pricing, and promoting sustainable finance. The agenda assigns responsibilities to different government ministries for implementing and coordinating climate actions, with the Ministry of Environment serving as the overall coordinator. The policy is to be implemented through the National Energy and Climate Plan and financed through various sources including state and municipal budgets, EU funds, and private investments.
