Ad Hoc Working Group on Further Commitments for Annex I Parties under the Kyoto Protocol (AWG-KP)
What is the AWG-KP?
In 2005, the Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol
(CMP) at its first meeting in Montreal, by its 
decision 1/CMP.1, established
the Ad Hoc Working Group on Further Commitments for Annex I Parties under the Kyoto Protocol (AWG-KP).
The aim of the AWG-KP is to discuss future commitments for industrialized countries under the Kyoto
Protocol. The AWG-KP reports to the CMP.
In 2010, the CMP, by its decision
1/CMP.6, agreed that the AWG-KP shall aim to complete its work and have its results adopted by the
CMP as early as possible and in time to ensure that there is no gap between the first and second
commitment periods.
In 2011, the CMP, at its seventh session, adopted decision
1/CMP.7, which requests the
AWG-KP to aim to deliver the results of its work in time to complete its work by the eighth session of
the CMP.
At the same session, the CMP elected Ms. Madeleine Diouf (Senegal) as the Chair of the AWG-KP and
Mr. Jukka Uosukainen (Finland) as the Vice-Chair of the AWG-KP. Ms. Erika Hasznos remains in office as
the Rapporteur of the
AWG-KP.
