1 ecbi Mitigation Subhi Barakat Legal Response Initiative (LRI)
european capacity building initiative initiative européenne de renforcement des capacités Mitigation Subhi Barakat Legal Response Initiative (LRI) for sustained capacity building in support of international climate change negotiations pour un renforcement durable des capacités en appui aux négociations internationales sur les changements climatiques

2 Mitigation overview Addressing climate change by reducing emissions and removing GHGs from the atmosphere

3 Removing GHGs – by enhancing sinks and reservoirs
Mitigation actions Reducing emissions – by improving efficiency, using alternative technologies, or making social change Removing GHGs – by enhancing sinks and reservoirs

4 Mitigation commitments
Convention All Parties to implement programmes with mitigation measures (Art.4.1.b) Developed countries to adopt national policies to limit emissions and enhance sinks (Art.4.2.a) Kyoto Protocol Developed countries to achieve quantitative emission reduction targets (Art.2) and collectively an overall reduction to 5% below 1990 levels (Art.3.1) Market-based mechanisms (Arts.6, 12 and 17) Paris Agreement All Parties to have mitigation obligations determined at the national level (Art.4.2)

5 Under the Paris Agreement
Collectively – global peaking of GHGs as soon as possible and balancing anthropogenic emissions and removals in 2nd half of century (Art.4.1) NDCs – every 5 years (Art.4.2), progressively more ambitious (Art.4.3), informed by global stocktake (Art.4.9), include measures pursued and info for transparency and clarity (Art.4.8)

6 Developing countries Encouraged to work towards economy-wide targets (Art.4.4), can use mitigation co-benefits from adaptation or economic diversification actions to meet mitigation targets (Art.4.7) and get support for mitigation actions (Art.4.5) LDCs and SIDS – can prepare low-GHG emission development strategies (Art.4.6) All Parties should formulate long-term low-GHG development strategies (Art.4.19)

7 Other relevant provisions
Enhancing sinks and reservoirs – conserve and manage GHG sinks and reservoirs (Art.5.1) and implement and support REDD+ activities (Art.5.2) Voluntary cooperative approaches – in general (Art.6.2), mitigation and sustainable development mechanism (Art.6.4) and framework for non-market approaches to sustainable development (Art.6.9)

8 Mitigation reporting All Parties to provide GHG inventories and info to track progress in implementing contributions (Art.13.7) At least biennially (but LDCs/SIDS can submit at their discretion) Info on action and support will be subject to expert review (Art.13.11)

9 Response measures Disproportionately affect developing countries and development priorities “Green protectionism” (?) – border tax adjustments, environmental/efficiency standards and subsidies Concerns of Parties most affected have to be taken into account (Art.4.15) Forum on impact of response measures will serve the Agreement

10 Emissions from int’l transport
Reported separately and excluded from national emission totals No reference in the Paris Agreement - will continue to be addressed by ICAO/IMO Increasing proportion of these emissions are attributable to developing countries

11 Next steps and engagement
Further develop features of NDCs and clarifying info and elaborate accounting guidance for NDCs (APA) Cooperative approaches (SBSTA) Develop guidance to avoid double counting Develop rules for the mitigation and sustainable development mechanism under the CMA Undertake a work programme under the framework for non-market approaches to sustainable development Develop modalities and functions of the forum on impacts of response measures (SBI and SBSTA)

12 Further reading and useful links
Focus on mitigation Tasks arising from the Paris Agreement Road map from Paris

13 Questions and comments
