In August 2024, Estonia unveiled a draft Climate Act, signaling a strong commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions across key sectors such as energy, transport, and buildings.
The draft law sets ambitious targets for emission reductions by 2030, 2035, and 2040, aligning Estonia with broader European climate goals and legal obligations set by the Estonian Supreme Court and the European Court of Human Rights.
The implementation of the Climate Act is expected to require investments exceeding EUR 14 billion, with a significant portion of this burden falling on the private sector. Key areas of investment will include renewable energy production and comprehensive building renovations aimed at improving energy efficiency. The act underscores Estonia’s dedication to sustainable development and its role in global efforts to combat climate change.
