Climate Change: Via Copenhagen, Cancun, Bangkok on the road to Durban
Climate Change is one of the greatest challenges of our time. Through conferences in Copenhagen, Cancun, and Bangkok, progress has been made towards reaching a global agreement to reduce emissions and mitigate climate change. Copenhagen established political commitments to reduce emissions but no binding agreement. Cancun resulted in a historic set of decisions establishing frameworks for mitigation, adaptation, finance, and technology transfer. Upcoming talks in Durban aim to resolve key issues under the Kyoto Protocol and deliver on the Cancun Agreements to ensure institutions are in place by 2012.
Legally Binding Outcome Copenhagen_Briefing _16 Nov09
1) The document discusses the key elements needed for a comprehensive, legally binding outcome from the Copenhagen climate change conference (COP15). This includes resolving substantive issues like mitigation commitments and financing, agreeing on what each party is legally obligated to do, and deciding on the legal framework.
2) The outcome must be captured in a legal text or instrument, rather than just separate COP decisions. It should not allow reopening of negotiations and must build on the Kyoto Protocol.
3) Industrialized countries must commit to ambitious emission reductions and a second commitment period under the Kyoto Protocol. They must also provide sufficient long-term financing to developing countries for mitigation and adaptation.

The document summarizes preparations for the Youth4Climate event in Milan from September 28-October 2, 2021 ahead of COP26. Over 8,700 youth ages 15-29 from 186 countries applied and nearly 400 were selected, including 40% from marginalized groups. Participants will discuss climate solutions along themes of sustainable recovery, resilience, participation, and climate change impacts. Selected youth provided input through questionnaires to develop "zero-draft" proposals on topics. The proposals will be discussed and finalized in Milan to ensure youth ownership of the process and outcomes. The event aims to amplify youth voices and drive greater climate ambition and action.

The document summarizes key decisions and discussions from the 2019 United Nations climate change conference (COP19) in Warsaw, Poland. Key decisions included continuing work to develop elements of the 2015 climate treaty, establishing a mechanism for addressing climate-related loss and damage, and advancing discussions on the "new market mechanisms" to incentivize emission reductions. However, negotiations stalled on issues relating to technology transfer between nations and the role of potential new market mechanisms. Overall progress was made but many important issues were deferred to future meetings.

The document discusses preparations for the upcoming Global Stocktake under the Paris Agreement. So far, discussions among parties have focused mainly on logistics, but more thought needs to go into how to achieve the stated goal of informing parties on enhancing their climate actions and cooperation. Specifically, opportunities and examples of good practices should be highlighted to provide clear positive messages from parties' experiences. Additional considerations include managing the large volume of inputs, repeating themes in technical dialogues, and ensuring information moves beyond interactive sessions to inform parties.

COP19 Outcomes: A Developing Country’s Perspective
1. The document summarizes key outcomes and decisions from COP19 in Warsaw, including establishing the Warsaw International Mechanism for Loss and Damage and further advancing the Durban Platform for a new climate agreement in 2015.
2. It outlines the key demands of developing countries, such as addressing the finance gap and establishing clear plans and timelines to raise pre-2020 ambition and negotiate the new agreement.
3. While some procedural decisions were made on climate finance, adaptation, and loss and damage, the document concludes that concrete steps and substantial finance pledges are still needed to make meaningful progress on these issues.
CCXG Global Forum March 2017 Breakout group 1 and 2 summary slides
The document summarizes 5 key takeaways from a climate change expert group discussion on the 2018 facilitative dialogue. The group emphasized that the dialogue should focus on opportunities to increase climate action and ambition. They also felt the process should not be overloaded so as to confuse outcomes. While national climate plans may not provide full details, this should not limit the dialogue. Useful information is already available or forthcoming. Consideration should also be given to sequencing information and setting the 2018 process based on COP23 in 2017.

The document discusses key questions and open issues regarding preparations for the first global stocktake (GST) under the Paris Agreement. It outlines four key questions: 1) What is the purpose and utility of the GST? 2) How will GST outputs be translated into the outcome specified in the Paris Agreement? 3) How can ownership of GST recommendations be ensured? 4) How will equity be addressed? It notes that the answers to these questions will impact the design of the GST process and guiding questions. The document also lists open questions and issues regarding the focus of the GST, inputs to be addressed, timelines, and technical support for parties' meaningful participation.

This document discusses how a facilitative dialogue could help parties progress toward the goals of the Paris Agreement. It suggests the dialogue assess: (1) current emissions and progress, (2) the scale of emissions reductions needed to limit warming to 1.5C and associated timelines, and (3) effective policies and technologies. Inputs from the UNFCCC, IPCC, and other scientific bodies could help with these assessments. The dialogue could identify information gaps in NDCs and recommend additional data. It could produce summary reports highlighting progress, emissions gaps, and priority actions. Parties could then adopt a decision identifying milestones to achieve 1.5C warming. The dialogue would involve both technical and political elements across SB, intersession
ADP Background
The ADP was established at COP17 in Durban to develop a new international climate agreement by 2015 that is applicable to all parties. It has two work streams - WS1 focuses on developing the new agreement for post-2020 and WS2 aims to enhance pre-2020 ambition. The ADP aims to complete its work by 2015 and have the new agreement come into effect in 2020. It held informal discussions from 2012-2013 to bring parties to a common understanding. The goals of the ADP co-chairs are to make progress on the 2015 agreement content, initiate discussions on nationally-determined contributions, and raise pre-2020 ambition.

CCCXG Global Forum March 2017 breakout group C and D summary slides
The document discusses information needs to assess progress towards the global goal on adaptation to climate change. It notes that the global adaptation goal still needs to be operationalized and clarified. Information will be needed at different levels but some, such as gender and mainstreaming data, will be difficult to collect and compare. Existing UNFCCC reporting vehicles are indispensable but need enhancement in content and periodicity. A minimum set of information to be reported should be defined. Assessing collective progress will require linking to other reporting frameworks and using existing third party information from regional, scientific, and issue-specific organizations. Determining effectiveness and adequacy of adaptation efforts also poses a challenge.
