          THIRD NATIONAL ACTION PLAN ON CLIMATE CHANGE
                        FOR THE PERIOD 2013-2020
              Approved by Council of Ministers’ Decision № 439/01.06.2012

   Prepared by the Ministry of Environment and Water and the Interinstitutional
 Commission on Climate Change within the project: "A holistic approach to reducing
                     greenhouse gas emissions in Bulgaria“

        The present NAPCC was developed with the support of the Norwegian
Government through the Norwegian Cooperation Programme for Economic Growth and
Sustainable Development in Bulgaria. Project partner is the Institute for Social Research
of the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Trondheim. SINTEF, the
largest independent research organization in Norway, a leader in developing technologies
for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and "Bellona", the largest NGO in Norway which
has implemented projects on climate change all over the world, also contributed to its
elaboration.
        The process of developing the Third NAPCC passed through an active exchange
of information, positions and views between experts from the Ministry of Environment
and Water and all interested institutions and organizations. The expert team included
specialists from the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, universities, NGOs, consulting
companies and others. Two workshops and over ten consultation meetings were carried
out, involving more than 140 representatives from 80 different institutions and
organizations - ministries and agencies, NGOs, industry associations, investors, research
and educational institutions, municipalities and citizens. A public consultation process
was launched after publishing the first draft of the Plan. Numerous written submissions
were received during the public consultation, which are reflected in substance in the
approved document.
