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.
What's next? - The outcome of the climate conference in Copenhagen and its implications for the land transport sector
The recent United Nations conference on climate change that took place in Copenhagen in December 2009 was attended by over 40,000 stakeholders, with more than 100 Heads of State and some 190 governments from around the globe making it the largest gathering of climate experts and policy makers ever known. An expectation of the COP15 conference was the delivery of an international agreement on a post 2012 international climate regime after two years of intense high level negotiations and discussions on the basis of the Bali Roadmap.
This paper provides a brief overview of the outcome of the UN conference and a discussion of the implications of decisions made there in respect to the transport sector, and how transport can play a more defining role in addressing climate change.
Copenhagen Accord
The Copenhagen Accord is the document that delegates at the United Nations Climate Change Conference (UNCCC) agreed to "take note of" at the final plenary session of the Conference on 18 December 2009 (COP-15). It is a draft COP decision and, when approved, is operational immediately.
Land Transport and Climate Change Events at COP15
GTZ prepared a list of transport-related events at COP15 in Copenhagen.
Transport suggestions to COP15 Non-Papers
To ensure that the Agreement in Copenhagen fully enables mitigation and adaptation actions in transport, we have developed a set of concrete text suggestions to the most recent non-papers, which will form the basis for the negotiations at the COP15.
