Mandate and objectives: By decision 1/CP.21, para 53, Parties decided that the CMA will set a new collective quantified goal on climate finance (NCQG) from a floor of USD 100 billion per year, taking into account the needs and priorities of developing countries, prior to 2025. CMA 1 decided to initiate at its third session, in accordance with Article 9, paragraph 3 of the Paris Agreement, deliberations on setting the NCQG from a floor of USD 100 billion per year in the context of meaningful mitigation actions and transparency of implementation and taking into account the needs and priorities of developing countries, and agreed to consider in those deliberations the aim to strengthen the global response to the threat of climate change in the context of sustainable development and efforts to eradicate poverty, including by making finance flows consistent with a pathway towards low greenhouse gas emissions and climate-resilient development.
At CMA 3, Parties decided that the NCQG aims at contributing to accelerating the achievement of Article 2 of the Paris Agreement of holding the increase in the global average temperature to well below 2 °C above pre-industrial levels and pursuing efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels, recognizing that this would significantly reduce the risks and impacts of climate change; increasing the ability to adapt to the adverse impacts of climate change and foster climate resilience and low greenhouse gas emission development in a manner that does not threaten food production; and making finance flows consistent with a pathway towards low greenhouse gas emission and climate-resilient development.
At CMA 5, Parties decided to transition to a mode of work that enables the development of a substantive framework for a draft negotiating text for consideration by CMA 6. Parties also requested the co-chairs of the ad hoc work programme to develop and publish by March 2024 a workplan for 2024, taking into account submissions to be made by Parties. Additionally, the CMA also requested the co-chairs to conduct at least three technical expert dialogues in 2024 to allow for in-depth technical discussions on the elements of the NCQG back-to-back with three meetings under the ad hoc work programme to enable Parties to engage in developing the substantive framework for a draft negotiating text capturing progress made.
As outlined in the co-chairs’ workplan in 2024, to enable the development of a substantive framework for a draft negotiating text, the technical expert dialogues will continue to allow for in-depth technical discussions on the elements of the NCQG, including interlinkages between elements, and building on the options identified in 2023 in the co-chairs’ annual report and its addendum. The dialogues would be informed by the outcomes of the meetings under the ad hoc work programme.
Format and participation:
The third meeting under the ad hoc work programme provides space for Parties to engage in open-ended, inclusive and Party-driven deliberations, open to observers guided by the draft rules of procedure of the Conference of the Parties and its subsidiary bodies. Throughout the meeting, Parties will be invited to share their views on the input paper prepared by co-chairs ahead of the meeting, with a view to streamlining and narrowing options on each element of the NCQG.
