[ Cluster E: Plans and strategies ]
51. Each developing country Party [described in annex I] shall, in accordance with Article 4.1 of the Convention, elaborate, develop and submit a low-carbon/emissions [high-growth sustainable development] strategy [voluntary] [national action plan]. It shall contain:
(a) The description of a long-term strategy for the low-carbon/emissions [high-growth sustainable development] of the developing country Parties including an emission pathway, that is, an emission projection planned to be achieved through the implementation of the strategy;
(b) A description of steps taken or envisaged by the Party to implement its lowcarbon/emissions [high-growth sustainable development] programme;
(c) The description of all NAMAs that the Party has adopted or undertakes to adopt to implement its low-carbon/emissions [high-growth sustainable development] programme, each of which should:
(i) Indicate autonomous action that is to be financed and implemented by the country itself;
(ii) Identify barriers to the implementation of autonomous action, including identifying technology needs and barriers to technology deployment and diffusion, whose removal needs support;
(iii) Indicate action that, due to the incremental costs, requires assistance, in the form of financing, technology or capacity-building for implementation;
(iv) Specify, when relevant, what type of support in terms of finance, capacitybuilding and technology it considers most appropriate to enable the implementation of the NAMA;
(v) Specify, when relevant, if the use of a [flexible][carbon market] mechanism is proposed, and the associated caps and thresholds;
(vi) Specify the outcomes of the NAMA that are foreseen in terms of emission reductions for several time horizons, for example, 2020, 2030 and 2050 and provide information on how these emission reductions were estimated;
(vii) (Other elements)
(d) Policies and measures for mitigation, which shall include quantified elements to the extent possible.
