Achieving quantified emission limitation or reduction objectives
20. In achieving their quantified emission limitation or reduction objectives, developed country Parties [shall][should]:
(a) Adopt national policies and take corresponding measures for the urgent mitigation of climate change, by limiting their anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases and protecting and enhancing their greenhouse gas sinks and reservoirs;
(b) Ensure that these policies and measures will demonstrate that developed countries are taking the lead in modifying longer term trends in anthropogenic emissions consistent with the objective of the Convention;
(c) Ensure that this [enhanced] mitigation does not affect the legal status and continued effectiveness of the quantified emission reduction commitments of Annex I Parties that are also Parties to the Kyoto Protocol.
21. Developed country Parties that are also Party to the Amendment to the Kyoto Protocol may in order to achieve their quantified emission limitation and reduction objectives, utilize the flexible mechanisms established in terms of the Kyoto Protocol.
22. Developed country Parties shall achieve their quantified emission limitation and reduction objectives (Option 1: exclusively through domestic action) (Option 2: domestically and not through flexible market mechanisms) (Option 3: (primarily through domestic emission reductions efforts.) (through a combination of domestic emission reductions efforts and [flexible) (carbon market) mechanisms.] (Option 4: through domestic actions and the use of market-based mechanisms shall be supplemental to those actions) (A maximum of [X] [10] per cent of their commitments should be achieved through the use of (flexible) (carbon market) mechanisms, including offsets).
Other issues relating to mitigation commitments or actions
23. Consideration of commitments or actions by developed country Parties requires close coordination with the discussions under the AWG-KP.
