UNFCCC11 November 2014: The UNFCCC Secretariat has released a series of documents for consideration by the Ad Hoc Working Group on the Durban Platform for Enhanced Action (ADP) at the seventh part of its second session (ADP 2-7), taking place in Lima, Peru, from 2-11 December 2014.

The three documents were prepared by the ADP Co-Chairs in response to parties’ request for the Co-Chairs’ further assistance in providing focus to the negotiations and capturing the discussions and submissions made so far.

The first document (ADP.2014.10.InformalNote) is a scenario note on the session (ADP 2-7), including reflections on progress made at ADP 2-6. The scenario note contains the ADP Co-Chairs’ proposed organization of work for ADP 2-7 and states that the contact group established in March and chaired by the Co-Chairs will continue its work under workstream 1 (the 2015 agreement) and workstream 2 (pre-2020 ambition). It also outlines the ADP’s approach to its work towards the 2015 agreement, noting that the contact group will need to intensify its negotiations on the elements for the draft negotiating text to achieve the required progress. On the draft decision on the Durban platform, the note states that the contact group will build on the progress made at ADP 2-6 and move straight into textual negotiations on the respective parts of the draft decision in Lima.

The second document (ADP.2014.11.NonPaper) is a non-paper on elements for a draft negotiating text, prepared by the ADP Co-Chairs. The non-paper updates a previous non-paper, incorporating parties’ views and proposals.

The third document (ADP.2014.12.DraftText) contains the Co-Chairs’ draft decision text on advancing the Durban Platform for Enhanced Action.
