2. SHARED VISION FOR LONG TERM COOPERATIVE ACTION There was a shared vision in paragraphs 1-7 of the Cancun Decision The Cancun Decision requested Parties to agree on a long term global goal to substantially reduce emissions by 2050 and timetable for peaking to be adopted by the COP at its 17 th Session in Durban Bangkok agenda provided for inclusion of other issues not concluded in Cancun

3. SHARED VISION (CONT.) Additional issues have been added to the shared vision text including, Trade, Shared visions for all the Bali building blocks, rights of Mother Earth, human rights, Equity and equitable access to sustainable development, historical responsibility, carbon budget, International Climate Court of Justice, warfare, and response measures. No shared vision and no prospects for agreement on the Long term global goal for emissions reduction nor timescale for peaking of emissions. There may be need to political intervention on this issue.

4. ADAPTATION An advanced text has come out of Panama but still divergent views on: reporting relationship with the COP, relationship with the financial mechanism and the different funds, relationship with the TEC and the composition of the Adaptation Committee. There is also concern aboutlack of cohesion among the different aspects of adaptation under various bodies such as, programme on loss and damage, adaptation plans, adaptation commitee and the Nairobi Work Programme.

5. TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT AND TRANSFER Three issues are under discussion: Governance of the Climate Technology Centre and Network and relationship to the TEC; Procedure for call of proposals and on criteria to be used to evaluate and select the host of the CTCN; and Funding for the CTCN. Divergent views remain on all the items and options remain on the table for further discussion in Durban. A draft text was forwarded to Durban for further consideration.

6. CAPACITY BUILDING Discussions in Panama were based on a technical paper prepared by the Secretariat on capacity building initiatives in other institutions and under the Convention. Presentations were made by facilitators from other informal groups and by GEF on capacity building initiatives under their respective mandates followed by a discussion among Parties on the adequacy of those initiatives.

7. CAPACITY BUILDING (CONT.) There are still divergent views on the adequacy of the current initiatives to address capacity building. A compilation text was produced by the facilitator on ways to enhance monitoring and review of the effectiveness of capacity building initiatives and modalities regarding institutional arrangements and reporting by Parties on capacity building.

8. NATIONALLY APPROPRIATE MITIGATIONS COMMITMENTS OR ACTIONS BY DEVELOPED COUNTRIES The Co-facilitator developed non-papers on: Possible elements for draft guidelines for Biennial reports for developed countries Possible elements of modalities and procedures for International Assessment and Review including objectives, process and output of the review. Summary of discussion on level of ambition and how to increase it.

9. NAMAs BY DEVELOPING COUNTRIES There was discussion and compilation of non-papers on: Possible elements for draft guidelines for biennial update reports from developing country Parties NAMA registry, its functions, modalities and relationship to the financial mechanism. Possible elements of modalities and procedures for ICA A co-facilitator’s paper on NAMAs by developing countries

10. POLICY APPROACHES AND POSITIVE INCENTIVES – REDD+ The Panama discussions focused on sources of funding for the full implementation phase of REDD+ activities. There was a proposal to have a REDD+ window within the Green Climate Fund Discussions under this item depended to a greater extend on the results of the work of the Transitional Committee and that of SBSTA on REDD+

11. VARIOUS APPROACHES INCLUDING OPPORTUNITIES TO USE MARKETS AND NON-MARKETS Discussions centred on the mandate to discuss new market mechanisms An 18-page compilation document was compiled based on Parties views. Parties were going to streamline the compilation document before Durban This is also linked with the discussion under Kyoto on market mechanisms

12. VARIOUS APPROACHES (cont.) The possibility of adopting one or more market mechanisms at COP 17 seems difficult given the progress on negotiations under this item.

13. ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL CONSQUENCES OF RESPONSE MEASURES There was no agreement on what to discuss under this agenda item given that the same issues were being discussed under SBSTA, SBI and the KP. The main issues discussed in Panama were trade, forum, support and just transition There was no compilation text on this issue and discussions will continue in Durban.

14. FINANCE The discussion centred on two main issues: The standing committee Long term sources of finance Consolidated facilitator’s texts were and on long-term finance and on the standing committee after long discussion on whether AWG-LCA had the mandate of discussing long-term finance. These will be forwarded to Durban for further consideration

15. THE REVIEW Parties were tasked to further define the scope and develop the modalities for the review. Non-paper was quite advanced with divergent views on the scope of the review. A late proposal by Australia and AOSIS on a committee to carry out the review was not discussed in detail. The non-paper to form the basis for negotiations in Durban.

16. Legal Options There is general agreement that Durban cannot produce a legally-binding outcome but that it could agree on a process to reach that goal Discussions result in a menu of legal options by the facilitator setting out a number of options for the Durban outcome: - A mandate to conclude a legally-binding instrument with a clear roadmap

17. LEGAL OPTIONS (CONT.) -Declaration regarding a future instrument leaving the legal form open -Continuing discussions to identify the appropriate form of the different elements of the agreed outcome -Affirming the importance of a legally-binding instrument and continuing to address the Bali Action Plan pillars Discussions on this item will continue in Durban.

18. AWG-KP The following issues were under consideration: Clarifying mitigation targets and possible nature and content of rules for the 2 nd CP Flexibility mechanisms LULUCF rules Potential Consequences Methodological issues

19. AWG-KP (cont.) Useful discussions on transformation of pledges to QELROS, LULUCF, and Mechanisms are reflected in a revised CRP by the chair to be forwarded to Durban for further consideration.
