[Cluster D: Mechanism(s) to register and facilitate implementation of NAMAs and corresponding support]
37. The minimum expectations with regard to the commitments and/or actions developing countries would register in their national schedules would be, for developing country Parties whose national circumstances reflect greater responsibility or capability, nationally appropriate mitigation commitments and/or actions aimed at achieving substantial deviation from baselines.1
38. Each Party shall establish, maintain and implement the contents of a national schedule, which shall include a long-term national emissions pathway, and nationally appropriate mitigation commitments and/or actions that are measurable, reportable and verifiable in quantitative terms. Commitments and actions registered in national schedules may be taken unilaterally, with the intention of accessing the carbon market and/or enabled by previously agreed support. LDCs are invited to establish a national schedule at their discretion.2
39. A [support and accreditation mechanism] [coordinating mechanism] [registry] to facilitate implementation of NAMAs by developing country Parties (hereinafter referred to as the mechanism/registry/register) shall be established [as part of the proposed Financial Mechanism] to enhance the implementation of the relevant provisions of [Articles 4.1, 4.3, 4.5, 4.6, 4.7 and 12.4] of the Convention.
40. The mechanism/registry/register shall be established at the secretariat under the authority of the COP and shall be supported by:
(a) A technical panel, composed of representatives of Parties mainly from developing countries, including representatives from the LDCs, to assess the assumptions and methodologies underpinning NAMAs and low-carbon/emissions [high-growth sustainable development] strategies and the support that those actions require;
(b) A new body to conduct the measurement, reporting and verification of NAMAs and the corresponding support in the form of technology, finance and capacity-building.
Option to paragraph 40
The mechanism/registry/register can be supported through technical bodies.
41. The mechanism/registry/register shall have the following functions:
(a) Register NAMAs by developing country Parties;
(b) Register and pool all pledges for voluntary mitigation actions and all pledges for financial support and technology transfer by developed countries;
(c) Register financial, technological and capacity-building support;
(d) Provide a platform for matching actions with support in such a way as to maximize costefficiency and to strengthen financing for NAMAs, taking into account the capabilities of each country and the need to ensure the environmental integrity of NAMAs;
Option to (d)
The support path provides direct financial and technological support by developed country Parties, channelled through the financial and technology mechanism(s) of the Convention;
(e) Provide a technical analysis of low-carbon/emissions [high-growth sustainable development] strategies of developing country Parties, the NAMAs proposed therein] [NAMAs] and the corresponding need for support identified; it shall also assess the contribution of [individual NAMAs to emission reductions relative to business as usual;] [a proposed emissions pathway to a substantial deviation from business as usual emission levels of developing country Parties as a group in 2020;]
(f) Trigger [an automatic request for] [automatic provision of] financial resources and technology transfer, once a technical analysis of the NAMA is completed by a technical panel. Support should be matched with actions to be undertaken during the entire process.
(g) Record the confirmation of the matching of specific action with specific support, thereby validating them.
Option to (f) and (g)
Validate domestically funded and internationally supported actions when matching is
confirmed;
(h) Provide for measurement, reporting and verification of actions and the corresponding support;
(i) Provides emission reduction credits for NAMAs (accreditation path) [without replicating CDM procedures];
(j) Recognize NAMAs as a part of the global effort to combat climate change.
42. Developing country Parties [may] [shall] register their NAMAs.
Option paragraph 42
Developing country Parties shall register NAMAs that are supported and may register NAMAs that are not supported.
