At the ADP sessions of the ongoing Bonn climate change conference, Alliance of Small Island States (AOSIS) has put forward a technical proposal on enhancing ambition in the pre-2020 work stream. It calls for a closer look at how renewable energy and energy efficiency can be scaled up and should be the focus of discussions under this work stream along with looking at proposals on carbon, capture and storage.
AOSIS PROPOSAL
- Call for submission by mid/late September on specific Renewable Energy (RE), Energy Efficiency (EE) and Carbon, Capture and Storage (CCS) policies, measures and technologies that can provide new and additional emission reductions
- Emphasis on emissions reductions achievable, barriers to implementation, strategies to overcome those barriers including finance and technology transfer by developed countries to developing countries
- A technical paper to be prepared by October
- Based in this, technical workshops in early days of COP 19 that invites all stakeholders to attend
- Ministerial roundtable on enhancing mitigation ambition - consideration of options following up on the technical workshops
