Hi all
A few quick questions in finding one's way through the Accord - surely
some of the most garbled syntax adopted at an international negotiation?
While the 2 degrees celsius number is mentioned at least twice, as I
read it there isn't actually a /formal /commitment to that as a
stabilization target.
Article 5 is rather confusing but it seems to say that mitigation
actions by non-Annex I parties will be subject to their own MRV
processes unless they are seeking 'international support' in which case
they will be subject to the same international MRV as for Annex I
parties. Have I read this correctly?
Clarification on article 8 - $100 billion by 2020 of which $30 billion
should be forthcoming in the period 2010-12, yes?
Appendix I - on emissions targets for Annex I parties by 2020, also
includes a column for base year. Does this mean that countries can set
their own base year rather than being tied to the 1990 levels in the KP?
Cheers (or not as the case may be)
Lorraine
