Submissions relating to a shared vision for long-term cooperative action and the building blocks of mitigation, adaptation, finance and technology have also been received. Several submissions also relate to REDD. Other submissions refer to, inter alia: a low carbon development road map; a decision on a programme of work on opportunities for rapid climate mitigation to complement long-term climate stabilization; a crediting mechanism for nationally appropriate mitigation actions by the parties not included in Annex I of the UNFCCC; and potential to switch to alternative energies.
