Current developments of GBG protocol
A final text is being produced by UNECE EU-countries are preparing to ratify the protocol The flexibility mechanism in the GBG protocol will not
be used by the majority of the countries within the EU More countries are expected to join the protocol after
the finalisation of the revised protocol text The commitment level of the GBG protocol was set low
in an effort to meet a relatively even ambition level of countries
However, the EU countries are raising the ambition levels in the revision of the EU air pollution legislation
UNECE continues to work with PMBC
EU is discussing the possibility to update the amendments of the protocol

For the Russian Federation?
In 2012 the Russian Federation indicated a 5 % reduction in emissions
Other countries are hoping for Russia to join the revised protocol
Russian joining will imply a strong encouragement to other countries to raise the ambition
