Report of the Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol on its first session, held at Montreal from 28 November to 10 December 2005
This document contains decisions made at the first session of the Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol. It includes decisions on providing initial guidance to the operating entity of the Adaptation Fund to focus on adaptation projects in developing countries; establishing capacity building priorities for developing countries and countries with economies in transition related to clean development mechanism project activities; and establishing a process to assess and minimize adverse impacts on developing countries from the implementation of commitments under the Kyoto Protocol.
Re-imagining our workplaces Communiqué of the Gender Equity in the Workplace ...Dr Lendy Spires
Gender equality is an issue that exists for every organisation. Yet, unfortunately for many organisations, it remains an issue that is not appropriately recognised or addressed. The leadership of these organisations is facing a serious loss of competitive advantage by not seeking to capitalise on the gender dividend.
The annual Gender Equity in the Workplace Summit is co-hosted by UN Women Australia and the Australian Human Resources Institute. It provides a space for Australian business leaders to discuss their joint leadership role in empowering women and ensuring gender equality in the workplace. It is frequently cited that while over 50 percent of Australian university graduates are women, and many companies employ equal numbers of men and women at graduate level, the percentage of women drops sharply from the first team leader role, and continues to drop off as careers progress toward the executive levels.
If we want to harness the full power of the workforce in these competitive times we need to change these statistics. Australian law affirms women’s entitlement to equal opportunity and freedom from discrimination. Yet in practice inequality exists in many ways. Women continue to be disproportionately affected by issues of economic security, pay inequality, access to leadership opportunities, taking on the majority of caring responsibilities and a lack of representation in decision making. Last year, Summit participants agreed that change was needed.
They called on government to provide greater access to affordable child care, they called on employers to implement targets for women in leadership, and they called for education and stronger data. This year, through a series of Thought Leader Workshop Groups, delegates set out to develop tangible recommendations for employers about how to further embed gender equity in the workplace. The recommendations in this document are based on that substantial contribution. Complementary to these recommendations are the Women’s Empowerment Principles (WEPs),1 developed by the United Nations Global Compact and UN Women, and the eight recommendations from the inaugural Gender Equity in the Workplace Summit in 2011.2 The WEPs share with the Gender Equity in the Workplace Summit an emphasis on the importance of courageous leadership in building gender equality at work.

developing States, through training, clean development mechanism market analysis and
forums
(f) Enhancing capacity to formulate mitigation activities and policies and to integrate them
with other policy instruments within the framework of sustainable development;

urgent attention from Parties included in Annex II to the Convention, and, as appropriate, multilateral
and bilateral agencies and the private sector, and should be implemented taking into account
decision 2/CP.7;
4. Requests the secretariat to provide reports to the Conference of the Parties serving as the
meeting of the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol on the efforts made to implement the framework for

that economic and social development and poverty eradication are the first and overriding priorities of
the developing country Parties,
Reiterating that Parties should protect the climate system for the benefit of present and future

economies are particularly dependent on fossil fuel production, use and exportation, as a consequence of
action taken to limit greenhouse gas emissions,

transfer of technology;
2. Recognizes that minimizing the impact of the implementation of Article 3, paragraph 1,
of the Kyoto Protocol is a development concern affecting both the industrialized and developing

countries; these Parties consider such action as a cost-effectiveness measure;
3. Requests each Party included in Annex I to provide information, as part of the necessary
supplementary information to its annual inventory report, in accordance with the guidelines under
Article 7, paragraph 1, of the Kyoto Protocol, relating to how it is striving, under Article 3, paragraph 14,
of the Kyoto Protocol, to implement the commitments mentioned in Article 3, paragraph 1, of the
Kyoto Protocol in such a way as to minimize adverse social, environmental and economic impacts on
9. FCCC/KP/CMP/2005/8/Add.4
Page 9

Convention; and further requests those Parties to incorporate, in this respect, information on action

6. Decides to develop guidelines before the second session of the Conference of the Parties
serving as the meeting of the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol to help determine if Parties included in

paragraph 14, of the Kyoto Protocol, to the following actions:
(a) The progressive reduction or phasing out of market imperfections, fiscal incentives, tax
and duty exemptions and subsidies in all greenhouse gas emitting sectors, taking into
account the need for energy price reforms to reflect market prices and externalities, in
pursuit of the objective of the Convention
(b) Removing subsidies associated with the use of environmentally unsound and unsafe
technologies
(c) Cooperating in the technological development of non-energy uses of fossil fuels, and
supporting developing country Parties to this end
(d) Cooperating in the development, diffusion and transfer of less greenhouse-gas-emitting
