Session 5: Conclusion

This session focused on what practical next steps could be promoted under the UNFCCC and under other process

Chaired by
Yvo de Boer

In the context of negotiation of the post 2012 regime, what recommendations do you have in terms of the role of institutions in regulating and supporting increased investment and financial flows?

What role can institutions, networks and individual researchers in developing countries play in more fully quantifying the financial needs to support mitigation and adaptation?

Should a task force/network on investment and financial flows related to climate change mitigation
and adaptation be created/motivated?

What other steps could /should be promoted?

In the UNFCCC process

Outside the UNFCCC process

How can the options outside the Convention be linked to or recognized under the Convention process
