Technical Examination Process on Mitigation
|
|
The technical examination process on mitigation consists of regular in-session thematic
technical expert meetings and focused follow up work to be conducted by Parties, international
organizations and partnerships throughout the year. Parties to the Convention resolved to start
this process in 2014 and to further accelerate it by 2020 in order to implement scalable best
practice policies and bridge the ambition gap.
Decision 1/CP.21 called for strengthening of the existing technical examination of
opportunities with high mitigation potential and associated adaptation, health and
sustainable development co-benefits in the period 2016–2020 taking into account latest
scientific knowledge. The decision requested the secretariat to organise the technical
examination process on mitigation and disseminate its results, including by organising
regular technical
expert meetings on mitigation focusing on specific policies, practices and actions
representing best practice and with the potential to be scalable and replicable.

Cross-cutting issues in urban environment
|
These meetings aim to:
- Facilitate discussion on how city level actions as well as actions on the land
use sector link and contribute to Pre-2020 Climate Action, the Paris Agreement and
the Sustainable Development Goals;
- Facilitate exchange of experience on implementing effective planning, policy
frameworks and financing instruments to drive public and private investment, in
support of low emissions development;
- Facilitate collaboration and partnership among wide range of stakeholders,
including private investors to scale up and replicate the best practices identified
and examined during the TEM-M.

Based on the information exchanged during the technical expert meetings, the
secretariat prepared two updated technical papers:
-
FCCC/TP/2017/2: Urban environment related mitigation benefits and
co-benefits of policies, practices and actions for enhancing mitigation ambition
and options for supporting their implementation
-
FCCC/TP/2017/9: Land use related
mitigation benefits and co-benefits of policies, practices and actions for
enhancing mitigation ambition and options for supporting their implementation.

Social and Economic Value of Carbon
|
Building on the technical examination process conducted in 2015, these meetings aim
to:
- Promote implementation of best practice mitigation policies and proven
technologies that could lead to significant emission reductions and also have
significant sustainable development co-benefits and could be scaled up and replicated
by 2020 through increased international cooperation and coordination;
- Mobilize support for mitigation policies and technologies, and provide
opportunities enabling developing countries to effectively implement them on the
ground;
- Set the foundation for implementation of the INDCs in the post-2020 period by
encouraging early action at international, national and subnational levels.

Non-CO2 greenhouse gases
|
The technical expert meetings focused on opportunities for action on non-CO2 greenhouse
gases and carbon capture, use and storage. Based on the information exchanged during
the June 2014 and the October 2014 technical expert meetings, the secretariat prepared
an
updated technical paper and its four addenda on
land use,
urban environments,
carbon capture, use and storage and
non-CO2 GHG emissions, which was presented to the ADP in December 2014.

Policy options and opportunities to scale up renewable energy deployment and energy
efficiency improvements were explored during two technical expert meetings. Based on
the information exchanged during the technical expert meetings, the secretariat
prepared an
updated technical paper and its
addendum on mitigation benefits of actions, initiatives and options to enhance
mitigation ambition, which was presented to the ADP in June 2014.

TEM follow up dialogues 2016
Follow up work on the technical examination process consists of focused in-depth,
inter-sessional meetings conducted throughout the year by Parties, international
organizations, partnerships and the secretariat with a view to enabling more Parties to take
transformational action in delivering higher mitigation ambition. At these meetings,
participants reflect on the progress made at the technical expert meetings and identify
opportunities for further action moving forward.

Building on the technical examination process conducted in 2015, these meetings aim to:
- Provide a platform for the partner organizations and other relevant
organizations/initiatives to: show how they have assisted Parties in implementing identified
policy options and/or supported relevant partnerships and initiatives; and share their views
on what have changed after the Paris agreement;
- Provide a space for Parties to discuss how they envision the continued engagement of
these organizations in the TEP process, with a view to maximize the added value of their
on-going efforts.

Technical Papers
The technical papers summarize information on best practice mitigation policies, practices and
technologies that are widely used around the world in the examined thematic areas. The papers reflect
proposals from Parties and observers, discussions at the technical expert meetings, and the latest
findings published by leading international organizations and partnerships that collaborate with the
UNFCCC. Technical papers can be found here.
Climate Action Fair
In conjunction with the technical expert meetings, the secretariat organizes a Climate Action Fair to
showcase examples of (1) pre-2020 action related to the technical expert meeting topics and (2)
actions by non-state actors to address climate change. The Climate Action Fair consists of various
activities, including side events and exhibitions, which all aim to support the work and discussions
taking place under the technical expert meetings, as well as increase the visibility of the climate
action among cities, regions, companies, investors, and international cooperative initiatives. Please
find
here the brochure for the Climate Action Fair 2016.
