3 Compared with 0.1% of the world's population
4 There are significant scientific uncertainties around these figures and the IPCC mentions the need to stabilise at 450 ppm or even lower.
5 The Scottish Share is derived by taking an 8.3% share (Scotland's expected share of the UK population in 2010) of the 20.7 MtC savings expected to be delivered by all devolved policies throughout the UK.
6 For example decisions on the cap for Phase II of the EU Emissions Trading Scheme - see Section 5 for details.
7 These are methane, nitrous oxide, hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons and sulphur hexafluoride.
8 UK emissions include those emissions that have not been allocated to each country (eg domestic air travel). Between 1990 and 2003 these unallocated emissions increased by 10% to reach 6.7 MtC. Further explanation is contained within Annex F.
9 A portion of unallocated UK emissions have been distributed to Scotland on a per capita basis resulting in a 13% reduction rather than 14% excluding unallocated emissions.
10 This agreement divided the EU's Kyoto Protocol target (an 8% cut in GHG emissions by 2008-2012) between Member States in a way which took account of national circumstances. Some Member States' targets under the burden sharing agreement allow for an increase in emissions to reflect their lower contribution to date.

12 Directive 2001/42/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on the assessment of the effects of certain plans and programmes on the environment.
13 Business includes industrial processes - breakdown provided in Annex F.
14 Emission figures for Scotland exclude air travel and maritime. See the transport sector and Annex F for more information.

18 The 40% target, set in 'Securing a Renewable Future: Scotland's Renewable Energy' in 2003, has been expressed as requiring around 6 Gigawatts of renewable installed capacity, based on estimated electricity demand in 2020.

22 The UKGHG Inventory relies on regional fuel sales data for road transport but the disaggregated inventories use vehicle kilometre data. To ensure consistency with the UK Inventory, some of the disaggregated estimates must be constrained.
23 Cross compliance will become a requirement of support under the Rural Development Regulation from 2007, where relevant, bringing it in line with the current requirements of the Single Farm Payment Scheme.
24 If carbon savings from biomass substituting for fossil fuels are counted at both the point of growth and the point of use then double counting would arise. To account for this, the total carbon savings reported from Scottish devolved policies is adjusted to remove the overlap. The relevant figures are identified in Annex E.
