LCA text
On Saturday morning, the Chair of the LCA released a document
which brings together an amalgamation of draft texts emerging from
the various working groups under the AWG-LCA. Work will
continue this week to improve the texts. Whilst many of the
areas of draft COP decisions are very short (1 to 3 pages in
length); the texts on shared vision (including the global goal and
emissions peaking), various approaches (including new market
mechanisms) and review of the long-term goal and progress towards
meeting it, are more lengthy.
In addition, the Annexes to the text set out a range of more
detailed issues, such as reporting guidelines, procedures for
international assessment and review (IAR), biennial reporting,
terms of reference for the Climate Technology Center and Network,
etc. The text can be viewed via this UNFCCC webpage or by searching for
FCCC/AWGLCA/2011/CRP.37.
