The objectives will be achieved through five key dimensions of the Energy Union: 1. energy security, 2. an internal energy market, 3. energy efficiency, 4. decarbonisation and 5. research, innovation and competitiveness. The Conclusions of the European Council on the Governance of the Energy Union of 26th November 2015 recognized that the governance system of the Energy Union will be an essential tool for the efficient and effective construction of the Energy Union and the achievement of its objectives. The Conclusions stressed that the governance system should be based on the principles of integration of strategic planning and reporting on the implementation of climate and energy policy and on coordination between actors responsible for climate and energy policy, at EU, regional and national level. Therefore, on 11th December 2018, Regulation (EU) 2018/1999 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the Governance of the Energy Union and Climate Action, amending Regulations (EC) No. 663/2009 and (EC) No. 715/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council, Directives 94/22/EC, 98/70/EC, 2009/31/EC, 2009/73/EC, 2010/31/EU, 2012/27/EU and 2013/30/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council, Council Directives 2009/119/EC and (EU) 2015/652 and repealing Regulation (EU) No. 525/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council has been adopted (hereinafter referred to as the Regulation on the Governance of the Energy Union and Climate Action). This Regulation stipulates the development of integrated national energy and climate plans for a ten-year period. The first Integrated Energy and Climate Plan (hereinafter referred to as the Integrated Energy and Climate Plan) should cover the period from 2021 to 2030. The achievement of the objectives of the Energy Union is to be ensured through a combination of Union initiatives and consistent national policies set out in integrated national energy and climate plans. The Integrated National Energy and Climate Plan for the period 2021-2030 builds on existing national strategies and plans. It provides an overview of the current energy system and the energy and climate policy. It also provides an overview of the national targets for each of the five key dimensions of the Energy Union and the appropriate policies and measures to achieve those targets, for which an analytical basis should be established. In the Integrated Energy and Climate Plan, particular attention should be paid to the targets to be achieved by 2030, which include the reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. energy from renewable sources, energy efficiency and electricity interconnection. It should be ensured that the Integrated Energy and Climate Plan is consistent with and contributes to the Sustainable Development Goals. 4 The Integrated National Energy and Climate Plan for the period 2021-2030, pursuant to Article 12 of the Act on the Strategic Planning and Development Management System of the Republic of Croatia (Official Gazette No. 123/17), shall be adopted by the Government of the Republic of Croatia at the proposal of the Ministry of the Environment and Energy. The table below includes the most important targets that the Plan sets for 2030. Indicator Target Reduction in greenhouse gas emissions for the at least 43%1 ETS sector, compared to 2005 Reduction in greenhouse gas emissions for non- at least 7% ETS sectors, compared to 2005 Share of RES in gross final energy consumption 36.4% Share of RES in final energy consumption in 13.2% transport Primary energy consumption (total energy 344.38 PJ (8.23 ktoe) consumption without non-energy consumption) Final energy consumption 286.91 PJ (6.85 ktoe) 1 The target for Croatia is indicative
