The second week of the UN climate change conference opened on Monday with important fresh documents on the table, the day before the joint high-level segment of Lima COP20/CMP10 opens.

Under the Ad Hoc Working Group on the Durban Platform for Enhanced Action (ADP), the body tasked with reaching a new climate change agreement and raising immediate global climate action, the Co-Chairs have already issued their fresh COP decision draft text on item 3 and the elements for a draft negotiating text , which they had compiled over the weekend at the request of Parties.

The Subsidiary Body for Implementation (SBI) and the Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice (SBSTA), following a useful first week of negotiations, now have a limited number of items requiring further work, including Loss and Damage, Response Measures,  Reporting and Review by Annex 1 Parties under the Kyoto Protocol, and Annex 1 Review Guidelines. Given the good chance of resolving these with a bit more time, the President on Saturday gave the mandate to the SB Chairs to continue consultations until Tuesday noon.

Monday also sees the continuation of the Multilateral Assessment, the new process that allows all countries to assess how developed countries are implementing actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The first session on Saturday was marked by constructive questions on Parties' submissions. In the second session, the countries coming forward for assessment are: Luxembourg, Netherlands, New Zealand, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United States of America. These will be webcast.

Manuel Pulgar-Vidal, Minister of the Environment and President of COP20/CMP10, also holds his first informal stock-taking on Monday, an important event to ensure all Parties are in the loop on progress under all the negotiating bodies.

Monday is also Lima REDD+ Day, where the topic of reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation in developing countries will be given special attention.

On Tuesday, the joint high-level segment of the COP and CMP opens, with a high-level ministerial dialogue on climate finance  in the afternoon.

Tuesday is also gender day, with a high-level event on gender and climate change scheduled for the afternoon, followed a by Momentum for Change: Women for Results event showcasing women’s leadership on climate action.

A special Presidential session will take place on Wednesday morning, in which several Presidents of Latin American countries will speak, as well as UN Secretary-General, Ban Ki-moon, followed by a Ministerial Dialogue on the Durban Platform for Enhanced Action in the afternoon.

On Wednesday evening, the Secretariat's Momentum for Change Showcase Event will be held to celebrate the 2014 Lighthouse Activities.

Thursday is Climate Action Day. As part of a series of activities, Peru will convene an innovative climate action high-level dialogue between parties, UNFCCC bodies and non-state actors. The dialogue seeks to promote engagement and support by global leaders to strengthen pre-2020 climate action as a strong foundation for the post-2020 Climate Agreement, as well as to encourage implementation of existing climate commitments by Parties and other commitments by non-state actors. The meeting will be webcast live.

The ADP is scheduled to have its closing plenary on Thursday afternoon, with the COP and CMP both scheduled to close on Friday.
