  1. The UNFCCC’s Bali Roadmap: building long-term cooperative action to address climate change Claudio Forner UNFCCC secretariat Cforner@unfccc.int

  2. Outline • Introduction: The UNFCCC • The Bali roadmap • The Bali Action Plan • What is needed?

  3. The UNFCCC Objective: stabilization of greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere at a level that would prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system. Such a level should be achieved within a time frame sufficient to allow ecosystems to adapt naturally to climate change, to ensure that food production is not threatened and to enable economic development to proceed in a sustainable manner.

  4. 2009: Agreement on long-term cooperative action 1992: Convention enters into force 1979: First climate change conference Long term Cooperative Action to Address Climate Change 2007: IPCC FAR; Bali Roadmap 2005: Kyoto Protocol enters into force 2008: Kyoto first commitment period starts 2012: Kyoto first commitment period expires 1997: Kyoto Protocol Adopted 2001: Marrakesh Accords The UNFCCC: timeline

  5. The road to Bali: gaining political momentum • A two year dialogue under the UNFCCC • Kyoto Protocol short life expires after 2012 • IPCC Fourth Assessment Report: • Climate change is unequivocal • Global emissions continue to raise • Delay in reducing emissions constrains development • Humanity has the capacity to address climate change • Raising the political status of climate change: • UN secretary General high level event • G8 • APEC

  6. The Bali Roadmap • A two year negotiating process for a broad and robust response to climate change. Components: • A new negotiation process (LCA) • Deforestation • Technology transfer • Kyoto track: time table for the AWG, adaptation fund and the review of the Protocol

  7. New negotiations: Bali Action Plan • Enhance the implementation of the Convention • An Ad Hoc Working Group on Long-Term Cooperative Action under the Convention to address: • Nationally appropriate commitments or actions by developed countries and mitigation actions for developing countries; • Essential actions to adapt to climate change and promote climate-resilient development; • Mobilise finance and technology cooperation to support action.

  8. Shared vision • Emission reductions • Resilience/reduced vulnerability  • Action by developed countries • On mitigation • On adaptation • Action by developing countries • On mitigation • On adaptation Elements of support Enabling elements Inputto support Outputto support Catalytic role of the UNFCCC

  9. Action by • developed countries • Measurable, reportable, verifiable mitigation action/commitments • Implementation of action on adaptation • Action to support action by developing countries • Action by • developing countries • Nationally appropriate mitigation actions supported and enabled by technology, financing and capacity building • Reducing emissions from deforestation • Implementation of action on adaptation • National/international action • Cooperative sectoral approaches and sector-specific actions on mitigation

  10. Elements of support • Access to financial resources and support (FMR, TT) • Positive incentives for mitigation and adaptation action • Access to technology for developing countries (FMR, TT) • Financing for adaptation (AF, GEF) • Enabling elements • Accelerating deployment, diffusion and transfer of technology (TT) • Technology R&D; technology cooperation in specific sectors (TT) • Mobilization of public- and private-sector funding and investment • Means of adaptation (1/CP.13, NWP, possibly 1/CP.10)

  11. Key aspects of the Bali Action Plan • Economic growth and poverty eradication are global priorities • Deep cuts in global emissions are urgently required • Provision of incentives to engage all Parties • Going beyond assistance: the role of business and the private sector through right investment decisions • A long term vision

  12. What is needed? • A comprehensive financial architecture: • Mechanisms established within the UNFCCC; • Mechanisms enabled through the rules under the Convention, but working outside; and • Financial tools created independently of the Convention, but linked to it.

  13. What is needed? • Climate change as a crosscutting challenge • The UNFCCC as a catalyst for action • Full mobilization of the international community • Different actors = different roles What is your role/ what can you do?
