Bridging the Gap: NAMA submissions
The Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs) submitted by non-Annex I country Parties to the UNFCCC had an initial deadline of 31st of January but are continuing to be submitted. There have now been 43 submissions and 28 of these make direct reference to the transport sector. The Bridging the Gap Initiative has analysed these submissions from a transport perspective.
Copenhagen Accord NAMA Submissions: Implications for the Transport Sector
This paper provides a brief overview of the Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs) submissions made by developing countries as of 4 February 2010. Since February 1 submissions are added to the UNFCCC website every day and a number of Parties have stated an "intention‟ to do so. The current fluidity of the process means that the website should be referred to for updates, although to date 25 countries have submitted NAMA actions, and 35 developed countries submitted national pledges to cut and limit greenhouse gases (GHGs) by 2020. These countries collectively account for more than 78% of global emissions from energy use.
Guidance note for developing countries: Formulating NAMAs in the Transport Sector
The Copenhagen Accord provides an opportunity for non-Annex I country Parties to submit a list of Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs) for inclusion within Appendix II of the Accord. The'Bridging the Gap' initiative has developed a guidance document for Parties on the submission of NAMAs in the transport sector, providing an overview of the potential mitigation actions, at national and sub-national level, that could be included within NAMA submissions.
