As of: May 2009
13th Meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Framework Convention on Climate Change and the
3rd Meeting of the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol
3. - 14.12.2007, Bali
The 13th Meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Framework Convention on Climate Change and the 3rd Meeting of the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol took place in Bali from 3 to 14 December 2007. The conference resulted in the "Bali Action Plan" in which the Parties to the Convention agreed to negotiate on issues such as concrete commitments and contributions from all countries to emission reductions (including a reduction of deforestation), adaptation, technology and financing up to and beyond 2012. These negotiations are to finish in Copenhagen in 2009 (
COP 15), as are the negotiations of the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol, which started two years earlier (without the US).
The Bali Action Plan and a range of important decisions (together: the Bali Road Map) constitute a solid foundation for negotiations on an international post-2012 climate regime. Negotiations are taking place in parallel: negotiations under the Climate Protection Convention and negotiations under the Kyoto Protocol are linked by the same completion date - 2009.
During the negotiations on future obligations for developed countries under the Kyoto Protocol an indicative mitigation corridor was defined for developed countries: emissions reductions of 25 to 40 percent by 2020 compared to 1990. Thus the standard for negotiations has been set. The Bali Action Plan (directed to all Parties of the Convention, including the US) stipulates that standards for all developed countries must be comparable.
All developed and developing countries agreed to combat climate change cooperatively and more intensively than in the past. For the first time the developing countries declared their willingness to take nationally appropriate measurable, reported and verifiable mitigation actions, supported and enabled by technology, financing and capacity building.
Due to pressure from the EU the decision contains unambiguous wording which stresses the urgent need for action. The Parties to the Convention clearly refer to the Fourth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental and indirectly refer (footnote) to the scope of action needed in the future: emission reductions by 2050 which are clearly below the 2000 level in order to prevent dangerous climate change impact.
