Climate Ac7on Network – Interna7onal
Network of 550 civil society organisa7ons around the world
Guiding Principles
• Significantly Enhanced Global Effort by all Par7es
• Environmental Integrity and Equity
• Common But Differen7ated Responsibili7es and
Respec7ve Capabili7es
• Developed countries should take the lead on
emission reduc7ons and support
• Developing country ac7ons taken in the context of
sustainable development and poverty eradica7on
Observa7ons
• NAMAs to be developed within the context of long‐term Low
Emission Development Strategies (LEDs) / Plans (2050)
• These strategies or plans should map out an ambi7ous and
credible trajectory towards low emission economies
• The sum total of na7onal ac7ons should match the ambi7on
needed, both in the short and in the long‐term
• Na7onal ac7ons should strengthen synergies with sustainable
development objec7ves, such as poverty eradica7on, green
jobs, equality, access to clean energy, etc.
• Finance and technology support and capacity building are part
of the dual obliga7on of developed countries and essen7al for
both prepara7on and implementa7on of LEDs and NAMAs

Concluding remarks
• Developing countries are doing a lot and could do more. How to
interna7onalize ac7ons and ensure environmental integrity?
• Enhanced ac7ons needs support but early ac7on is urgently
needed and possible
• Those with more capabili7es should act sooner and faster
• A robust MRV system and Registry should be made opera7onal
urgently – enabling recogni7on of early ac7on and matching
enhanced ac7on with support
• To ensure environmental integrity in an equitable manner
developed countries must do (more than 40%) and leave
sustainable development space for developing countries
Thank you
