On accession to the Covenant binds the cities to make a specific effort to reduce CO2-emissions in an amount that is above the EU target of 20% CO2 reduction by 2020. Cities must submit an action plan for reductions within a year of their accession and regularly submit detailed rapports of realized actions. In addition, cities must assist to com- municate the idea of Covenant of Mayors through among other things, an annual Conference of Mayors and contribute to the sharing of experiences and exchange of know-how with the other signatories to the Covenant of Mayors. EU´S ENERGY AND CLIMATE MEASURES The European Union has set energy and climate measures. The EU's energy and climate measures for 2020, 2030 and 2050 is listed below. Objectives for 2020: • Reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by at least 20% compared to 1990 level • 20% energy from renewable sources • 20% improvement in energy efficiency Objectives for 2030: • Reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by 40% • At least 27% of energy from renewable sources • 27-30% improvement in energy efficiency • 15% interconnection of the grid (ie, 15% of the electricity generated in the EU can be transported to other EU countries) Objectives for 2050: • 80-95% less greenhouse gas emissions in the EU compared with 1990. FREDERIKSHAVN MUNICIPALITY’S ACCESSION OF THE COVENANT AND OBLIGATIONS By Mayor Lars Møller Mejlvang’s signature on 19 May 2011 joined Frederikshavn Municipality joined the Covenant of May- ors. Upon accession has Frederikshavn Municipality committed itself to the following: • To achieve higher goals than those set by the EU climate targets for 2020 to reduce CO2- emissions in accordance with the agreement guidelines for reducing CO2-emissions by at least 20%. • To submit an action plan for promoting sustainable energy for evaluation, monitoring and control within one year after the above entry date.
