Technical Expert Meetings: examination of opportunities for actions with high mitigation

the ADP Co-Chairs, technical expert meetings at each of the sessions of the ADP in 2014 to
share policies, practices and technologies and address the necessary finance, technology and
capacity building, with a special focus on actions with high mitigation potential. During the
March session, technical expert meetings will focus on opportunities for action on renewable
energy and energy efficiency. Experts from Parties are encouraged to come prepared with actions
and initiatives that Parties would like to advance, to share experience and engage in
discussions oriented at achieving concrete and practical results. Organizations that are active
in the respective areas are also encouraged to participate by sharing good practices and
initiatives being undertaken with Parties and their potential for broader engagement, as well
as by sharing information on different sources of support available to developing
countries.
