Abstract

This paper presents the greenhouse gas emissions inventory of Estonia. The data were derived for the baseline year 1990 using the IPCC Methodology, with financial assistance from the U.S. Country Studies Program. There have been strong downward trends in greenhouse gas emissions in Estonia since 1990 due to radical changes in the Estonian economy and political life. Within the last 3 to 4 years, total greenhouse gas emissions in Estonia have decreased by about 40%. The present study is the first attempt to follow changes in greenhouse gas emissions and to estimate the efficiency of measures adopted by Estonia to decrease these emissions.
