Message from the ADP Co-chairs
The Co-chairs of the Ad Hoc Working Group
on the Durban Platform for Enhanced Action (ADP) are encouraged that substantive work under the
Durban Platform at the Bangkok climate talks has been launched in roundtable discussions. The
discussions include the design of the new agreement to be adopted by 2015 which is to come into
effect from 2020. Governments have started to outline how they envisage the broad contours and
architectural features of this agreement, and how the principles of the Convention will shape
it. They are identifying the main challenges and areas of work that need to be considered to
ensure an effective, fair and ambitious agreement.
Furthermore, governments have started identifying concrete actions to enable staying on track
to hold the global average temperature increase below 2 degrees Celsius.
The discussions in the ADP have been thoughtful, constructive and rich in the exchange of ideas
and views. All governments have emphasized the importance of the successful completion of the
Bali Road Map and that the new agreement needs to build on successes in domestic implementation
of climate policies.
Roundtable discussions will continue during the course of the Bangkok climate talks with the
aim of building confidence in these discussions among governments to provide a strong basis for
further work in subsequent years.
