Mandate:
At its twelfth session, the AWG-KP requested the secretariat to organize an in-session workshop at its thirteenth session on the scale of emission reductions to be achieved by Annex I Parties in aggregate and the contribution of Annex I Parties, individually or jointly, to this scale.  The workshop should be organized under the guidance of the Chair of the AWG-KP and taking into consideration the views submitted by Parties on the topics of the workshop and the organizations/experts to be invited, as well as discussions at the twelfth session of the AWG-KP.

Objective:
The objective of the workshop is to have a focused technical discussion on the quantitative implications of the proposals and issues identified by Parties in their submissions.  This should allow for further exploring a possible enhanced scale of emission reductions to be achieved by Annex I Parties, emphasizing that consensus on their overall level of ambition is deemed important.
