Assumptions
Targets for 2020 were calculated from the most recent national inventory submissions (2011).
We have applied LULUCF accounting to Croatia’s pledges. We calculated Croatia's LULUCF accounting quantities for 2020 for afforestation, reforestation and deforestation using the current Kyoto rules and for forest management using a net-net approach with a reference level based on 1990 levels.
