National Action Plan for Climate Change Mitigation
Overall Summary: 
The National Action Plan of the Republic of Tajikistan (NAP) for Climate Change Mitigation determines priorities and key directions to address climate change as well as identifies capacities and knowledge needs to further expand its evidence base on climatic system and mitigation actions. Measures, reflected in NAP, are considered as the basis for planning and decision-making purposes at all governmental levels.
Access
Energy access priorities: 
Development of state policy in the sphere of development of renewable energies and promotion of electricity supply in remote mountain regions;
Energy access action plan: 
Construction of mini and microhydropower plants, especially in remote high mountain regions with lack and/or deficiency of electricity that will considerably reduce the use of coal and wood fuel for meeting energy demands and will improve social development level.
Efficiency
EE priorities: 
Enhancement of energy efficiency in relevant sectors of the national economy;---The increase in the number of large hydropower plants is a priority for the energy sector development in Tajikistan [...]alongside the construction of large hydropower plants, other activities should be implemented that also have significant effects on both GHG emissions reduction and energy efficiency.
EE targets: 
Reconstruction and improvement of electrical networks, substations, transformers and cable production, that can potentially reduce electricity loss of by 30-40%; · Improvement of thermal systems and insulation of buildings, that can save about 25-30% of energy;
EE action plans: 
Introduction of independent heating systems and closed circuit hot water supply;---New approach in planning, design and construction of residential and commercial buildings, with application of high-tech materials for walls, roofs, windows, etc;---Transition to modern lighting equipment, in particular luminescent lamps, halogen infrared lamps, automatic systems of street illumination, etc; Improvement of heating systems efficiency, enhancing conditioning and maintenance to microclimate of residential buildings; Installation of gas consumption control systems and development of advanced consumption norms;---Creation of a new and strengthening of existing industrial and research capacities for development, manufacturing and research on efficiency of renewable energy equipment;---Use of highly effective electric motors, mechanisms and electric drives in all industries; · Improvement of drying systems in textile industry; · Improvement of furnaces in metal smelting, with introduction of "know-how" technologies; · Utilization of heat from clinker production in cement industry.---Transition from "wet" method of cement production to "dry" method, where the economy of energy resources up to 30% and essential CO2 emission reduction is possible; Reconstruction of gas purification facilities and dust filters at cement plant; ·[...].---Agriculture: Application of economic stimulus on energy saving and use of renewable energies; Increased efficiency of irrigation systems, reduction of energy consumption by water pumps and agricultural equipment;
Renewable Energy
RE priorities: 
Research on, promotion, development and increase used of, new and renewable energies, advanced, innovative, and environmentally sound technologies;The increase in the number of large hydropower plants is a priority for the energy sector development in Tajikistan.---Development of state policy in the sphere of development of renewable energies and promotion of electricity supply in remote mountain regions;
RE action plans: 
Rehabilitation of equipment at large and small hydropower plants;---Construction of mini and microhydropower plants, especially in remote high mountain regions with lack and/or deficiency of electricity that will considerably reduce the use of coal and wood fuel for meeting energy demands and will improve social development level.---Creation of a new and strengthening of existing industrial and research capacities for development, manufacturing and research on efficiency of renewable energy equipment;
RE public awareness/promotional programmes: 
Training and preparation of experts in the field of renewable energy, exchange of experience with developed countries' specialists;---Raising public awareness on the application of renewable energies and demonstration their advantages in comparison with traditional fuels.
Environment
GHG emissions reduction targets: 
CO emission reduction amongst light vehicles, which are most popular in the republic, to a level of 120-150 gram CO /km;
Pollution control action plans: 
The control of volume and concentration of exhaust emissions; Expansion of the application of exhaust emission rationing tools and mechanisms.
Decarbonization strategy: 
[T]he following measures on reduction of GHG emissions and enhancing of natural sinks of carbon: · Enhancement of energy efficiency in relevant sectors of the national economy; · Application of effective technologies and use of energy sources in the national economy that promotes high rates of economical growth and reduce or limit greenhouse gas emissions; · Protection and enhancement of natural sinks and reservoirs of greenhouse gases; · Promotion of sustainable forest management practices, afforestation and reforestation; · Promotion of sustainable forms of agriculture in the light of climate change considerations; · Research on, promotion, development and increase used of, new and renewable energies, advanced, innovative, and environmentally sound technologies; · Encouragement of appropriate reforms in relevant sectors aimed at promoting policies and measures, which limit or reduce emissions of greenhouse gases.---Introduction of technologies for improvement of fuel quality aimed at reducing harmful substance emissions; Encouragement of use of motor vehicles with more economic gasoline internal combustion and diesel engines; Switching of public transport to alternative fuels, in particular liquefied gas; · Electrification of railway and development of urban electrical transport; · Development of alternative transport; · Optimization of cargo and passenger traffic circuits;---Transition to modern lighting equipment, in particular luminescent lamps, halogen infrared lamps, automatic systems of street illumination, etc; Improvement of heating systems efficiency, enhancing conditioning and maintenance to microclimate of residential buildings; Installation of gas consumption control systems and development of advanced consumption norms;---Transition from "wet" method of cement production to "dry" method, where the economy of energy resources up to 30% and essential CO emission reduction is possible;
Land use change for energy production purposes:
