Bali road map
The Bali roadmap (including Bali Roadmap ) is the central result of the UN Climate Change Conference in Bali . In a broader sense, it refers to all the final documents of the conference, in the narrower sense the "Bali Action Plan" (Decision 1 / CP.13), which defines the timetable according to which a follow-up regulation for the Kyoto Protocol , which expires at the end of 2012 , is to be drawn up. In addition, the Bali Action Plan contains content-related requirements for subsequent climate agreements.
Contents of the Bali Action Plan
Content requirements are defined for four areas:
Combating climate change: the developed countries must commit themselves to measurable and verifiable emission reductions; Developing countries must make appropriate efforts to reduce emissions in a measurable and verifiable manner at the national level, with technical, financial and capacity development support. Approaches and incentives are to be developed to reduce the clearance and destruction of forests and to promote sustainable forest practices and the conservation of forests and carbon sinks. Approaches are to be developed, such as the use of market forces in order to reduce the costs of these measures and thus promote their application.
Adaptation to climate change: International cooperation to develop measures for adaptation to climate change, with particular support to the least developed countries, the most threatened islands and the countries of Africa at risk of drought, desertification and flooding. This also includes risk management and disaster preparedness strategies and economic diversification as this strengthens resilience.
Development and technology transfer: Accelerated development and transfer of technologies to combat and adapt to climate change, including by removing barriers to the development of green technology and its application in developing countries; Research and development cooperation.
Funding: Improved access to finance to combat and adapt to climate change, including through new and additional funding, incentives to implement mitigation and adaptation strategies, and mobilizing public and private funds by facilitating climate-friendly investment.
The follow-up agreement for the Kyoto Protocol is to be adopted at the UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen in 2009 ; In preparation, a working group (“Ad Hoc Working Group on Long-term Cooperative Action under the Convention”, AWG-LCA for short) was set up to complete its work before the conference in Copenhagen.
Implementation of the Bali Action Plan
Meetings of the AWG-LCA took place from March 31 to April 4, 2008 in Bangkok, from June 2 to 13, 2008 in Bonn, from August 21 to 27 in Accra (Ghana), during the 14th UN Climate Change Conference in Poznan (December 1 to 12, 2008), from March 29 to April 8, 2009, from June 1 to 12 and from August 10 to 14, 2009 in Bonn, from September 28 to October 9, 2009 in Bangkok, from November 2nd to 6th in Barcelona and during the 15th UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen in December 2009. The working group did not succeed in developing a consensus-based proposal for a successor agreement by the end of 2009; a follow-up agreement for the Kyoto Protocol was not decided in Copenhagen (see there). The working group was therefore continued with the aim of drawing up a follow-up agreement up to the 2010 UN Climate Change Conference in Mexico . The first meeting took place from April 9 to 11, 2010, the second from May 31 to June 11, 2010 in Bonn. Neither of them brought any result.
