All Parties provided information on mitigation targets or mitigation co-benefits resulting from adaptation actions and/or economic diversification plans in their NDCs (see figure 1), which range from economy-wide absolute emission reduction targets to strategies, plans and actions for low-emission development, to be implemented within a specified time frame or implementation period: (a) Some Parties included absolute emission reduction targets expressed as an emission reduction from the level in a specified base year, ranging from 7.2 to 88.0 per cent. (...) In addition, a few of these Parties expressed their target as a carbon budget in addition to the absolute target, establishing an overall limit on GHGs to be emitted over a specified period of time (e.g. between 2021 and 2030); (b) Many Parties included relative targets for reducing emissions below the ‘business as usual’ level by a specified target year, either for the whole economy or for specific sectors, ranging from 5 to 103.5 per cent and thus achieving carbon neutrality; or emission intensity targets for reducing specific GHG emissions per GDP unit relative to a base-year (e.g. 1990) level; (c) Some Parties included strategies, plans and actions for low-emission development reflecting their particular national circumstances; (d) Some Parties provided information on mitigation co-benefits resulting from their adaptation actions and/or economic diversification plans, mostly in combination with other targets. 34 Including emissions from countries that are not Parties to the Paris Agreement, a harmonization factor to ensure comparability with SSP scenarios assessed by the IPCC, and emissions from international aviation and maritime transport, which accounted for approximately 1.2 and 1.5 per cent, respectively, of total global emissions in 2019. 35 In line with anthropogenic land-use emissions and removals in the scenarios assessed by the IPCC, although actual directly induced net emissions from LULUCF could be higher.

And as implementation of measures enshrined in the Decree of the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan dated July 1, 2004, the “State Program on improvement of living conditions and increasing employment of Refugees and Internally Displaced Persons”, as well as in the amendments to this document dated 31 October, 2007 and 21 February, 2011, were provided. (...) As it is known that in the Summit at the United Nations Headquarter in New York from 25-27 September 2015, the Heads of member States decided on new global Sustainable Development Goals which include 17 Goals and 169 targets. The most of the targets directly or indirectly are linked to the development of business which requires human oriented approach. For instance, the target 8 of the SDGs is about the “Decent work and economic growth” which shows that the real economic growth can not be considered without human rights oriented approach.

Non-Annex I Parties may participate in emissions trading on the basis of agreed emission targets established for sectors. The emission target for a sector shall be set below the level of projected anthropogenic emissions by sources of GHGs within the sector boundary, or above the level of projected enhancements in removals by sinks of GHGs within the sector boundary, and shall be based on the most recent available data. (...) A participating non-Annex I Party shall be issued with emission allowances corresponding to its sectoral target. Parties may devolve emission targets and allowances to legal entities. 62. (...) In relation to sectoral emissions trading, the CMP shall adopt modalities for: (a) The governance of sectoral emissions trading and the means of reaching agreement on sectoral targets; (b) The determination of a sector boundary; (c) The monitoring, reporting and verification of emissions within the sector boundary; (d) Accounting of emission allowances, including their issuance; (e) The treatment of potential leakage from within the sector boundary; (f) Consequences of not achieving the target.

Governance challenge: Despite significant legal and institutional reforms, there is a need for further improvement of efficiencies in governance. Good governance is a cross-cutting factor that affects such key areas as: designing and implementing economic and social development policies; collecting tax revenues and managing them; set- ting out realistic targets and effective prioritization; and allocating funds to social and economic programs. (...) A priority action for Artsakh will be to start the process of nationalization of SDG targets, and in- corporation of SDG principles, targets and indicators into national strategies and sector specific policy and regu- latory documents. (...) Access to healthcare needs significant improvement. Only 39.4 percent of people who have health problems visit doctors.

The target has certainly heightened awareness on the issue but of all the MDG targets, it remains one of the most off-track.7 In Indonesia’s MDG Report for example, the Government acknowledged that sanitation was a low priority and the World Bank estimates that less than 1 per cent of the investment in sanitation needed to reach the sanitation target in Indonesia over the last years has been made.8 The poor progress on the target, amongst others, has strengthened calls for increasing a rights focus in the strategies for realisation of the MDG targets.9 Some supporters of the MDGs acknowledged early on that the MDGs framework was deficient in this regard.10 Some emphasise, however, that human rights approaches go further than merely adding extra tools to the development toolbox. (...) For example, in South Africa, the bucket system for sanitation in many black townships has endured since the apartheid era despite current government targets for its eradication. Statements by politicians on the targets have generally emphasised the personal dignity dimension: The President of South Africa stated that they were on course to “put an end to this dehumanising system” former Minister for Water Affairs and Forestry has acknowledged that the “It can only be described as demeaning to those who have been required to use this system” (emphasis added).15 The personal dignity dimension also has health consequences. (...) • Due to the nature of their delivery, when water services fail, they tend to fail in a geographic area, sparking immediate public demand for improvement or replacement services. However, when sanitation services fail, they are more likely to fail by household (full pit or septic tank), so the public demand for improvement is more localised and therefore not as effective
