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.

On September 23, world leaders will convene in New York for the 2019 UN Climate Action Summit. In line with the goals of the Paris Agreement and the IPCC special report on the impacts of a global warming of 1.5 °C, one of the key objectives of the summit is to secure political will leading to ambitious 2020 commitments, as well as long-term strategies with concrete steps and interim targets towards achieving net zero emissions by 2050.

The Copenhagen Agreement is a document that delegates at the 15th session of the Conference of Parties (COP 15) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change agreed to "take note of" at the final plenary on 18 December 2009.
The Accord, drafted by, on the one hand, the United States and on the other, in a united position as the BASIC countries (China, India, South Africa, and Brazil), is not legally binding and does not commit countries to agree to a binding successor to the Kyoto Protocol, whose round ended in 2012.
This presentation will discuss the climate change agreement ratified as part of the overall world action on climate change. The presentation will highlight concerns with implementation the plan to the economy including the impact on consumer pricing as well as government revenues. The government revenues are what drives social programs.

La COP di Lima si svolgerà in un continente formato da paesi in via di sviluppo che hanno già sperimentato gli effetti devastanti del cambiamento climatico attraverso inondazioni, fusione dei ghiacciai ed eventi meteorologici estremi. E’ anche un continente in cui sono state poste in essere azioni forti per affrontare il cambiamento climatico.
“Questo dovrebbe indurre tutti i paesi a essere pronti nel mettere da parte i propri interessi nazionali e agire nell'interesse del Pianeta ", conclude Midulla.
Developing Climate Resilient Flood and Flash Flood Management Practices to Protect Vulnerable Communities of Georgia - The Role of Risk Modelling in the Development of Flood Insurance Model in Georgia
Welcome to the Program Your Destiny course. In this course, we will be learning the technology of personal transformation, neuroassociative conditioning (NAC) as pioneered by Tony Robbins. NAC is used to deprogram negative neuroassociations that are causing approach avoidance and instead reprogram yourself with positive neuroassociations that lead to being approach automatic. In doing so, you change your destiny, moving towards unlocking the hypersocial self within, the true self free from fear and operating from a place of personal power and love.

3. UNFCCC on NAMAs
• Agreed in Bali in 2007 (COP13), submissions after Cancun 2010
(COP16) and elaborated at subsequent sessions:
– Voluntary mitigation actions by developing countries – domestically implemented or
internationally supported in the context of sustainable development
– Any government-supported (prioritized under LEDS) policy, program, project that
results in measurable GHG reductions can be a NAMA
• Developments on:
– MRV: domestic and international, biennial update reports, ICA
– NAMA Registry: will record information and facilitate the matching of action and
support (operational after Doha)
– Financing: Green Climate Fund to support development and implementation (fast
start finance and after it?)
4. Formats for NAMA
The Durban Agreements (2011) provide general framework of information that should
be provided for NAMAs seeking international support via the NAMA registry:
(a) Description of the mitigation action and the national implementing entity, including contact
info;
(b) Expected timeframe for the implementation of the mitigation action;
(c) Estimated full cost of the preparation;
(d) Estimated full cost and/or incremental cost of implementation of the mitigation action;
(e) Amount and type of support (financial, technological and capacity building) required to
prepare and/or implement the mitigation action;
(f) Estimated emission reductions;
(g) Other indicators of implementation;
(h) Other relevant information, including the co-benefits for local sustainable development, if
information thereon exists.

5. Current developments at Bangkok informal meeting
Proposed elements for Doha decision (not agreed):
• To reiterate invitation to developing countries to submit NAMAs
• Continue the process of understanding the diversity of NAMAs
• To submit additional information on underlying assumptions,
methodologies, sectors, gases, GWP, support needed
• Compile information on NAMAs in a structured manner
• Request the relevant body to develop MRV guidance for support
• Work to clarify methodological issues, taking into account national
diversity
• Organize regional workshops to build capacity
• Take stock of existing capacity building activities to support NAMAs
development and implementation
• Prepare a handbook to support preparation of NAMAs
6. UNFCCC workshop on NAMAs, Bangkok
In session workshop on NAMAs (2 September 2012)
Panel 1. Underlying assumptions and methodologies, sectors and gases , and
estimated mitigation:
Developing countries - instruments for transparency have been developed already
(i.e., ICA and biennial update reports) so no need for additional processes on
reporting and transparency; NAMAs are country-driven, diverse and must
respect national circumstances; there is no need for their standardization
Developed countries - value of increased transparency on NAMAs by expressing
the underlying assumptions, such as GDP growth and baseline emissions
Panel 2. Support for NAMAs:
EU - need for countries to contribute their own finance; NAMAs should fit
within country’s broader LEDS. Operationalization of support through the
UNFCCC Registry early next year
Developing countries - need for all kind of capacity needs in regards to NAMA
development, implementation, and MRV

11. How to organize NAMA development
• The linkages to national communications and GHG inventories, as
well as the data needed for designing a NAMA
• Integration of NAMAs into broader low-carbon (SD) development,
• Setting up a interministerial coordination and assure stakeholders
involvement for identifying and prioritizing (criteria/political) NAMAs
and
• Identification of sources
of finance, technology and c.b.

• The MRV systems
• Roles and responsibilities of different ministries and institutions in
developing, submitting, implementing, and MRVing (double
counting)
Editor's Notes
The world only has 100-150 months to dramatically change the world’s energy supply trajectory and limit temperature rise to a "safe" 2 °C. Action – investment decisions that put the world on a different – more efficient resource use production and consumption path - is needed now.Significant investments are needed Stern review – cheaper to take action now. Investment decisions now will affect 2050 targets, action now is cheaper than inaction or late action;The transition to a low carbon world will transform our whole economy, the way we all live and work; Low-carbon growth is a new national development paradigm that creates new growth engines and increase of green jobs, green technology and clean energy Additionally: Population growth to 9 bln 2050 and;pressure on resource systems - McKinsey “Resource Revolution: Meeting the world’s energy, materials, food, and water needs greater pressure on resource systems together with increased environmental risks present a new set of leadership challenges for both private and public institutions; economic crisis
The Bali Action Plan calls for enhanced national and international climate change mitigation actions, including “nationally appropriate mitigation actions by developing country parties in thecontext of sustainable development, supported and enabled by technology, financing and capacity building, in a measurable, reportable and verifiable manner”.In 2009, the Copenhagen Accord (negotiated but not adopted) invited developing countries to align themselves with the Accord by communicating to the UNFCCC Secretariat NAMAs that would be recorded under Appendix II to the Accord.
