(iv) Issues related to NAMAs
Issues for LDCs
european capacity building initiative
ecbi
• Voluntary nature of the mitigation actions
• Avoid the regional unbalance that have
characterized the CDM : a process to enable LDCs
that wish to, to engage in a NAMA that support
growth and sustainable development
• Streamlining rules and procedures for LDCs
• Support technical, CB and financial (full cost of
enabling activities and for the formulation of
NAMAs)
• Closing Panama: Uneven progress
– In the two tracks : LCA > KP
– In the LCA : Mitigation > Adaptation and
discussion around the means of implementation
• Need to ensure balance
