This document outlines a draft resolution by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). It is signed by over 20 countries and outlines 8 provisions to further the goals of the UNFCCC, including: 1) supporting efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through low-carbon development and financing, 2) enhancing the role of regional bodies in climate action, 3) implementing regional mechanisms for voluntary and mandatory policies, 4) optimizing REDD+ and Blue Carbon programs, 5) strengthening adaptation frameworks, 6) establishing transparency through international forums and inspections, 7) conforming investments to be climate-sensitive, and 8) encouraging monitoring of country targets and indicators.
UNFCCC - Position Paper - United States of America
The document discusses the United States' position on reducing carbon emissions by 2020. It recognizes that climate change poses a grave threat and that nations must work together to limit global temperature rise. While the U.S. has increased investment in clean energy and reduced emissions in recent years, it believes future agreements must be tailored to different national circumstances. The U.S. proposes prioritizing clean energy research, setting emissions standards, and using economic incentives to accelerate the transition to renewable sources.
The History of Climate Change Negotiations
The document provides a short history of international climate change policy, starting from early scientific studies in the late 19th century through the establishment of the UNFCCC and Kyoto Protocol. It summarizes the key objectives and principles of the UNFCCC, as well as commitments made by Annex I, Annex II, and other parties. It then discusses the Kyoto Protocol, including its commitments, limitations, and need for future action. It concludes by outlining the AWG-KP and AWG-LCA processes aimed at establishing new commitments beyond the first Kyoto commitment period and a long-term global climate agreement.
COP26 Glasgow Climate Pact- Outcome Document
This document summarizes discussions from the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26) in Glasgow. It acknowledges the urgent need to strengthen climate action and support for developing countries based on the latest science. Key points include: recognizing that impacts are already occurring at 1.1°C of warming; stressing the need to scale up adaptation funding and actions; welcoming increased pledges but noting more is needed, especially to double adaptation funding; and reaffirming commitments to limit warming to 1.5°C through deep global emissions reductions.
Draftul acordului COP21
1) The document presents a draft agreement for an international climate change accord. It includes articles on mitigation, adaptation, finance, technology development, capacity building, transparency, compliance, and other issues.
2) Key provisions include requiring parties to communicate and pursue progressively more ambitious emissions reduction targets, and establishing transparency requirements for mitigation actions and support provided.
3) The draft establishes a compliance mechanism and requires regular global stocktakes to assess collective progress towards meeting the goals of the Paris Agreement.
History of Negotiations
The UNFCCC was negotiated from 1991-1992 and entered into force in 1994, with 193 countries ratifying it. It divides parties into three categories based on development status. Annex 1 countries have financial obligations. Annual COP meetings have been held since 1995 to negotiate strengthening commitments, resulting in the Kyoto Protocol in 1997 which set emission reduction targets. The Marrakesh Accords in 2001 provided implementation details. Subsequent COPs addressed extending commitments beyond 2012 and established institutions like the ADP to negotiate a new legal framework by 2015 for post-2020 action.

Understanding UNFCCC Conferences of Parties
The document discusses the UNFCCC process and current climate change negotiations. It provides an overview of key terms and organizations involved in the UNFCCC including the COP, Kyoto Protocol, AWG-KP, and AWG-LCA. The current negotiations are focused on establishing further commitments beyond the first commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol from 2012-2020, as well as addressing long-term cooperative action on mitigation, adaptation, technology transfer, and financing under the Bali Action Plan through both the AWG-KP and AWG-LCA tracks.
Understanding UNFCCC Legal Principles
The document summarizes key principles of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), including:
1) The climate system is a common concern requiring cooperation by all countries according to their differentiated responsibilities and capabilities. Developed countries should take the lead in addressing climate change.
2) Developing countries' special needs and vulnerabilities must be considered. Policies should allow sustainable development and eradicating poverty.
3) Responses to climate change should balance environmental protection, economic development, and equity between nations. The UNFCCC is guided by the principles of common but differentiated responsibilities and respective capabilities.
Copenhagen Accord
1. The Copenhagen Accord was agreed to by heads of state and governments at the 2009 UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen.
2. It recognizes the need to limit global temperature rise to below 2 degrees Celsius and the scientific view that deep cuts in global emissions are required. It establishes goals for Annex I countries to implement emissions targets and developing countries to undertake mitigation actions.
3. Developed countries commit to provide $30 billion in fast-start climate financing for 2010-2012 and aim to mobilize $100 billion per year by 2020, to help developing countries take climate action. A Copenhagen Green Climate Fund will be established.

UN on sustainability [Unfccc]
The UNFCCC is an international treaty negotiated in 1992 aimed at stabilizing greenhouse gas concentrations to prevent dangerous climate change. It provides a framework but no binding emissions limits. The Kyoto Protocol, adopted in 1997, implemented the UNFCCC by requiring reductions in emissions by developed countries. Subsequent agreements including the Copenhagen Accord and Cancun Agreements aimed to further strengthen climate actions and support for developing countries.
Aosis Proposal For Kp Survival And New Copenhagen Protocol Final
The Alliance of Small Island States (AOSIS) proposes a Copenhagen Protocol to enhance implementation of the UNFCCC and ensure the survival of the Kyoto Protocol. Key points include:
1) Establishing long-term global goals to limit warming to 1.5C and reduce emissions by at least 85% by 2050.
2) Developed countries commit to reducing emissions by 45% below 1990 levels by 2020.
3) A new Multilateral Fund on Climate Change is created to support adaptation, mitigation and technology transfer in developing countries.
4) National plans are required by all countries to reduce emissions and adapt to climate impacts. Support is prioritized for vulnerable developing states.

UNFCCC
The document discusses the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and whether it has been helpful in mitigating climate change problems. The UNFCCC was adopted in 1992 with the objective of stabilizing greenhouse gas concentrations to prevent dangerous interference with the climate. However, greenhouse gas levels and global temperatures have continued to rise significantly since then. While the UNFCCC aimed to reduce emissions through frameworks like the Kyoto Protocol and Paris Agreement, annual emissions are now 60% higher than in 1994 and none of the agreements have achieved deep enough cuts to limit global warming. As a result, the continuation of the UNFCCC process is now in question, as it lacks tools to drive necessary global action on climate change. Alternative

Strategies e Actions on Waste for Sustainable Cities - Atilio Salvino
This document discusses strategies and actions for sustainable waste management in cities. It notes that waste generation is projected to greatly increase by 2025, especially in developing countries and megacities. Megacities face challenges from their large scale and vulnerability to natural disasters. Adaptation to climate change impacts is an underestimated challenge for megacities. The document also discusses mitigation strategies like those in the EU, which have significantly reduced greenhouse gas emissions from waste. Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs) are presented as a way to support mitigation in developing countries through financing, technology, and capacity building. The document proposes that ISWA could help identify, develop, and implement waste sector NAMAs to facilitate climate change
UNCCD: Its implementation in Namibia
1. The UNCCD aims to combat desertification and mitigate drought effects through long-term strategies. Namibia developed NAPCOD to implement the UNCCD domestically.
2. NAPCOD focused on research, capacity building, education, regional cooperation, and drought preparedness. It enjoyed participation and support but lacked consistent funding after 2004.
3. While NAPCOD made progress in public awareness and partnerships, Namibia still faces challenges in fully implementing the UNCCD through legislation and prioritizing combating desertification.
Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMA)
1) Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs) are voluntary domestic mitigation actions undertaken by developing countries in the context of sustainable development.
2) NAMAs can take many forms, including policies, programs, and projects, and aim to result in measurable greenhouse gas reductions. Developing countries are encouraged to submit information on proposed NAMAs through the UNFCCC NAMA Registry.
3) At a recent UNFCCC workshop, countries discussed developing guidance for NAMA preparation and support, building capacity for NAMA development and implementation, and taking stock of existing capacity building activities to support NAMAs.
International efforts for green house gas emission reduction and climate change
The document summarizes international efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and address climate change through frameworks like the UNFCCC, Kyoto Protocol, Cancun Agreements, and Durban Platform. It discusses key milestones and components of climate agreements including mitigation, adaptation, technology transfer, and financing. The challenges of addressing climate change are also examined, as well as opportunities for reducing emissions through green economic sectors.
Ford1994Nov-UN FCCC and NFPs
- The document discusses how the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (FCCC) could provide new sources of funding for sustainable forest management through a mechanism called "joint implementation" (JI). Under JI, developed countries can meet emissions reduction commitments by funding projects in developing countries. This could generate substantial funds for forestry projects.
- JI is controversial, with some arguing it allows developed countries to outsource emissions cuts rather than change domestic policies. Supporters counter that JI will speed technology transfer and private sector investment to developing countries. The document provides examples of existing JI forestry projects involving tree planting and sustainable forest management.
7.4.1 Synergy between UNFCCC and UNCCD
1) The session will discuss how pursuing land degradation neutrality (LDN) and climate change adaptation targets can achieve co-benefits. LDN seeks to maintain ecosystem services from land to enhance food security and resilience while increasing sustainability.
2) Achieving LDN requires preventing further land degradation through approaches like avoiding, reducing and reversing degradation to maintain the land's natural capital. National adaptation plans can integrate LDN planning.
3) Over 100 countries have committed to set LDN targets in line with SDG 15.3, showing growing recognition of LDN's ability to balance competing land needs and achieve multiple sustainability objectives.

Cma2021 l16 adv
Par JULIEN G. – Le samedi 13 novembre 2021, la COP26 a adopté un "pacte de Glasgow" destiné à accélérer la lutte contre le réchauffement climatique, mais sans assurer de le contenir à 1,5°C ni répondre aux demandes d'aide des pays pauvres. La Cop 26 restera aussi comme un Davos bis avec ses 400 atterrissages de jets privés avec une présence américaine frappante.

COP28 Dubai: Agreed Outcome Global Stocktake
This document summarizes the outcome of the first global stocktake of the Paris Agreement. Key points include:
- Progress has been made in reducing emissions but collective efforts are still not on track to meet the Paris Agreement goals.
- Emissions need to peak before 2025 and reach net zero by 2050 to limit warming to 1.5°C, but current policies and NDCs are insufficient.
- Parties committed to accelerate climate action this decade through more ambitious NDCs and long-term strategies in a fair manner consistent with national circumstances.
- Areas highlighted for increased efforts include renewable energy, phasing down coal, zero-emissions vehicles and transport, reducing methane and HFCs, protecting ecosystems,

Adaptation Responses to Climate Change under the UNFCCC and Kyoto Protocol, D...Dr. William C.G. Burns
This document discusses adaptation responses to climate change for developing countries under the UNFCCC and Kyoto Protocol. It notes that while mitigation was initially the main focus, adaptation is now also a high priority given increasing impacts. However, financing for adaptation in developing countries has been extremely inadequate, estimated to be billions annually but only provided in the hundreds of millions. More funding sources and integrating adaptation into development projects and foreign direct investment are needed.Conclusions de la COP 28 de Dubai, décembre 2023
1) The document summarizes the outcome of the first global stocktake under the Paris Agreement on climate change. It recognizes progress made in climate action but notes global emissions trajectories are not yet aligned with the Paris Agreement's temperature goals.
2) It emphasizes the need to urgently close the gap between policies and actions and what is needed to meet the goals, through deep reductions in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 in line with 1.5°C pathways. This includes transitioning from fossil fuels this decade and achieving net zero by 2050.
3) It acknowledges the critical role of protecting nature and ecosystems in climate mitigation and calls for enhanced efforts and support for activities like halting deforestation to help
COP27: Final decisions document
1. The document outlines the Sharm el-Sheikh Implementation Plan agreed upon at COP27. It recognizes the urgent need to address climate change and biodiversity loss, and stresses that geopolitical issues should not be used as an excuse to backtrack on climate action.
2. It acknowledges the latest reports from the IPCC and UNEP which highlight the impacts of climate change and the need for rapid emissions reductions. The goal of limiting warming to 1.5°C is reaffirmed.
3. Countries agree to implement ambitious transitions to low-emission development, in line with the Paris Agreement. Efforts are needed across all sectors including a transition to renewable energy and just energy partnerships.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
