Long-Term Cooperative Action
Shared VisionLong-term reduction target
Push for a 60% reduction target by 2050 for developed countries only
Means to achieve long-term goalsStress importance of relaxing intellectual
property rights for energy efficiency technology
Renewable EnergyPressure for extinction of trade barriers on
biofuel
Preventing the worst
The Scenarios
MitigationResponse to the post-industrialization
emissions and climate changeInvolves the adoption of measures and
policies to prevent climate change from affecting our lives in the future
Changing the consumption and environmental practices across the world will directly change the culture and current practices, preventing global warming and further emissions.
Mitigation and Historical responsibilities
Annex I countries shall:aim to an absolute
reduction in the emissions Find clear mitigation
commitments, Finance and promote
technological mechanisms to aid Annex II countries in Environmental Efforts.
Countries shall contribute to the solution in direct proportion to their contribution to the problem.
Annex II countries shall, reduce emissions
according to nationally appropriate actions,
Annex II countries shall carry due diligence to promote environmental practices, and a “green” culture, minding on sustainable development
Adaptation • Developing countries face the highest costs
regarding its impacts.
• Barriers that hinder adaptation: knowledge gaps, impediments to information flows relevant for adaptation decisions and insufficient resources for building adaptive capacity and translating it into action in developing countries.
AdaptationThe establishment of national and regional
centers for adaptation planning.
The establishment of national climate change committees for adaptation, similar to the “ozone units” created by the Multilateral Fund of the Montreal Protocol.
Financing for adaptation should be considerably increased in order to redress the balance in the allocation of funds under the climate change regime.
Development Mechanisms
Development and Transfer of ESTs:Five Key ElementsTechnology Information Capacity BuildingEnabling EnvironmentsTechnology Transfer Needs AssessmentFinancial and Institutional Mechanisms
Financing MechanismsExpand the carbon market
Private and public investorsAuction of allowances for emissions
Purchase credits with cash and by way of EST transfer
Update the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM)Reward joint technological development and
transnational emission reductionsDivide emission credits: 1:3 ratio Reduce emissions by at least 3% from the
previous year
