UNFCCC Newsletter: Governments to tackle new and urgent work at first negotiating session of 2012 in Bonn.
Extensive, intensive and urgent work awaits us at the Bonn Climate Change Conference that begins next week. It is the first formal opportunity for governments to take forward and build on the Durban outcomes, especially in view of meeting agreed deadlines for COP18 in Doha. There are a few urgent tasks that need completion as soon as possible, alongside new work that must be organized, structured, and launched without delay to bridge any gaps and give us a robust start towards an effective 2015 agreement. Above all, this May, can lay down solid groundwork on which to move decisively forward towards COP18, and set a positive tone of international cooperation on the very threshold of Rio+20.

NAMAs prototype NAMAs prototype registry presented at SBI 36
15 May 2012
The prototype of a registry for nationally appropriate mitigation actions (NAMAs) was officially presented by the UNFCCC secretariat to governments at SBI 36 in Bonn. The registry is meant to record both NAMAs seeking international support and NAMAs seeking recognition; and facilitate matching of finance, technology and capacity-building support with these actions. On the basis of comments received from governments on how to improve the design of the prototype, the secretariat will deploy a first version of the prototype registry by mid-July. A fully-functional version of the registry is expected to be presented at the end of the year at COP18 in Doha.
