Structural proposals:
1) Sections A and B of the mitigation chapter should be rearranged according to the following order:
1. A section on policies and measures
2. A section on mitigation obligations by Parties
(a) Subsection on commitments by developed countries
(b) Subsection on actions by developing countries
3. A section on measurement, reporting, and verification
4. A section on a reviewing mechanism
5. A section on compliance.
2) A new section should be inserted at the beginning of the chapter on mitigation for structural proposals that address both developing and developed country commitments and actions in a unified format.
Annexes should be inserted at the end of the text, to capture, among other things, Parties’ quantifiable mitigation commitments and actions.
The mitigation chapter should focus on nationally appropriate mitigation commitments and actions and the measurement, reporting and verification of those commitments and actions. Elements of the text relating to support for mitigation action by developing countries, including the current section on “means of implementation”, should be consolidated into a new section in the financing chapter.
A placeholder should be included at the beginning of the mitigation chapter noting that a new section may be required to set out overall mitigation objective or objectives, and guiding principles, should these elements not be included in a shared vision.
The mitigation chapter should therefore be structured into seven sections as follows:
1. Objective and principles (if needed)
2. Nationally appropriate mitigation commitments and actions(specifically including: Common obligations; National Schedules; Low-Emission Development Strategies; Mitigation by developed countries; Mitigation by developing countries)
3. REDD
4. Bunkers
5. Market mechanisms
6. Spillover effects
7. Measurement, reporting and verification
8. Compliance
3) A new section on joint fulfillment
4) A new section on LULUCF
