UNFCCC civic wiki

1) This section should not be a separate section from NAMAs; it should be included in the section on
nationally appropriate mitigation actions by developing countries.
2) Move paragraphs 135–138 (from the revised negotiating text, document FCCC/AWGLCA/2009/INF.1)
on international aviation and maritime emissions to a new section separate from the general sectoral
approaches.

One Party proposed the following:

The deletion of the whole section of International bunker fuels (para. 14 – para. 18 of non-paper No. 2), due to the fact that such sectoral approach does not go in full conformity with the UNFCCC principle in Article 3.3 which stated the following: “… To achieve this, such policies and measures should take into account different socio-economic contexts, be comprehensive, cover all relevant sources, sinks and reservoirs of GHGs and adaptation, and comprise all economic sectors. Efforts to address climate change may be carried out cooperatively by interested Parties.”

Moreover, addressing GHGs in international aviation and maritime transport sectors should be dealt within the independent international organizations ICAO and IMO, respectively, as been indicated in the Kyoto Protocol Art. 2.3. On the same line, reference should be made to the IMO note to the 7th AWG-LCA meeting which stated in paragraph 10 the following: “Marine Environment Protection Committee MEPC 59 further agreed that any regulatory scheme to control GHG emissions from international shipping should be developed and enacted by IMO as the most competent international body.”
