Sažetak
Climate change policy is one of the key factors in the achievement of sustainable development in the Republic of Croatia. Control and mitigation of greenhouse gases (GHG) is correlated with all economy activity. Waste management is one of the main tasks of the environmental protection in Croatia. Waste Management Strategy of the Republic of Croatia (OG RC 130/05) and Waste Management Plan in the Republic of Croatia (OG RC 85/07) define the concept of waste management hierarchy and direct and indirect measures as criterion for sustainable waste management establishment. The main constituent of this system is waste avoiding and minimization, as well as increasing of recycling and recovery level of waste and landfill gas, which also represent GHG mitigation measures. Contribution of the methane emission from landfills amounts about 2% of the total GHG emission in Croatia. Climate change control and mitigation measures as an integral part of waste management sectoral strategies represent measures for achievement of national objectives towards GHG emission reduction, which Croatia has accepted in the framework of Kyoto Protocol.
