This updated technical paper compiles information on mitigation benefits of actions, initiatives and options to enhance mitigation ambition, with a focus on two thematic areas: promotion of renewable energy supply and acceleration of energy efficiency in urban environments. It also compiles information on support for actions in those thematic areas
and possible actions to be undertaken by the Ad Hoc Working Group on the Durban Platform for Enhanced Action (ADP). Information for the update was provided at the two technical expert meetings that took place during the ninth part of the second session of the ADP, held in June 2015 in Bonn, Germany, and at the other meetings dedicated to the discussions on workstream 2 held during 2015, as well as in relevant submissions from Parties and observer organizations and literature on the implementation of policy options. This update builds on the previous versions of the technical paper, which are contained in documents FCCC/TP/2014/3 and Add.1 and FCCC/TP/2014/13 and Add.1–4. This technical paper consists of the main document and two addenda. The addenda are focused on the promotion of renewable energy supply and the acceleration of energy efficiency in urban environments. They elaborate on drivers for accelerated implementation and key policies, practices and technologies for catalysing action in those thematic areas.
