AWG-KP Workshop on issues relating to the scale of emission reductions to be achieved by
Annex I Parties
Chair - Mr. Harald Dovland, Chair of the AWG-KP.
Friday, 27 March 2009
3.30 p.m. - 6.30 p.m.
Mandate:
At its resumed sixth session, the AWG-KP requested that the secretariat organize, under the guidance
of its Chair, a workshop on the issues referred to in paragraph 49 of document FCCC/KP/AWG/2008/8.
Objective:
The objective of the workshop will be to discuss informally issues relating to further commitments
for Annex I Parties, including quantified emission limitation and reduction objectives, and in
particular, issues relating to: (a) Approaches to identify the scale of emission reductions to be
achieved by Annex I Parties in aggregate, as well as individual or joint contributions to this scale;
(b) Implications of issues such as the duration of the commitment period(s), how QELROs could be
expressed including the base year, and mitigation potential.
Organization:
The workshop will be divided into three segments:
(a) Presentations by Parties on the issues relating to the objective of the workshop;
(b) Presentations by international experts on the results of relevant technical analyses;
(c) Discussion, focusing on the following questions:
(i) What are the Parties. expectations with regard to the scale of emission reductions to be achieved
by Annex I Parties in aggregate? How would this scale be evaluated?
(ii) What is the role of national pledges by Annex I Parties in this process? How can transparency be
ensured in the process with regards to arriving at the desired scale of quantified emission
limitation and reduction objectives?
The Chair invited Parties interested in making a presentation at the workshop to contact the
secretariat before 1 March 2009 by email : workshops@unfccc.int
