Introduction Governments gathered in Bonn, Germany, for the UNFCCC bodies sessions from 14 25 May, 2012. There were over 3,000 participants, representing governments, intergovernmental and nongovernmental organizations, academia, the private sector, indigenous peoples and the media. The meeting was the first negotiating session since a last-minute deal was struck in the extended hours of the Durban Conference of the Parties (COP) 17 and Meeting of the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol (CMP) last year. Five bodies convened at these sessions, including: 36th sessions of the Subsidiary Body for Implementation (SBI); 36th sessions of the Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice (SBSTA); 15th session of the Ad Hoc Working Group on Long-term Cooperative Action under the Convention (AWG-LCA); 17th session of the Ad Hoc Working Group on Further Commitments for Annex I Parties under the Kyoto Protocol (AWG-KP); first session of the Ad Hoc Working Group on the Durban Platform for Enhanced Action (ADP);

Additionally the following events took place: first meeting of the Durban Forum on Capacity Building; and 5 workshops on: equitable access to sustainable development; quantified economy-wide emission reduction targets and related assumptions and conditions of the developed country Parties'; further clarification of the understanding of the diversity of nationally appropriate mitigation actions by developing country Parties, underlying assumptions, and any support needed for implementation of these actions; a framework for various approaches the new market-based mechanism; and a workshop on options and ways for increasing mitigation ambition and possible further actions.

After reaching political agreements on a number of issues during the last four years, some of the work from the Ad hoc Working Groups was transferred to the regular Subsidiary Bodies (SB), the established Forums and committees for them to start the implementation of the agreed structures and processes of the new climate change regime. For that reason many of the issues were dealt with in more than one of the bodies, with not very clear boundaries, which created lengthy discussions. There are still quite some political issues to be resolved at Doha COP, mainly with regards to the three big gaps: 1. The ambition gap the mitigation pledges of both developed and developing countries are still not enough to assure the 2C target, neither after 2012 nor beyond 2020; 2. The financial gap in general to cover the adaptation and mitigation needs, and in particular the fast start finance expires in 2012 and the GCF is still not operationalised and sourced; 3. The legal gap to assure that that there are no legal gaps between commitment periods as currently the second commitment period is due in 2013, however still not agreed.

Summary of the Bonn 2012 sessions Just some of the Bonn sessions deliberation are covered below, as there is no much progress since Durban on many of the substantial issues, as well here the focus is more on the issues of interest for the EE&CIS region. The Durban Platform (ADP) At COP 17/CMP 7 parties agreed to establish the Ad hoc Working Group on Durban Platform (ADP) that will strive toward a protocol, another legal instrument or an agreed outcome with legal force under the Convention applicable to all parties. However in Bonn, there were different interpretations of this particular Durban Outcome. Mainly the Parties disagreed on the mandate and the scope of work of the ADP and expectations for what it will accomplish. Developed countries argued that the ADP should focus on creating a mitigation protocol including all countries that will come into force by 2020 and the need to increase mitigation ambition. Developing countries, on the other hand, argued that all parties are not obligated to the same levels and form of commitments. Developing countries want to see the ADP similar to the Convention and the Kyoto Protocol, and emphasized that the ADP must be based on the principles of common but differentiated responsibilities and respective capabilities and equity. Many emerging economies also argued that increasing ambition applies to not only mitigation, but also adaptation, finance, technology and capacity building. During the whole first session of the ADP there was a heated debate over the agenda and chairmanship of the ADP that lasted the entire two-week session. Norway, Trinidad and Tobago and India nominated candidates for the Chair and Vice Chair, and Russian Federation for a rapporteur of the ADP and countries were so sharply divided that a voting procedure was nearly undertaken. On the final day of the session, it was agreed that Norway and India would co-chair in 2012 and an Annex I Party and Trinidad and Tobago would Co-Chair in 2013, and Russian representative will report on the ADP work. On the agenda, parties agreed that they would base their work on the Durban decision, including launching discussions under the ADP toward a legally-binding agreement to come into force by 2020 and a workplan on enhancing mitigation ambition. A number of developing countries, led by Venezuela, also argued for the principle of pacta sunt servanda (Latin for agreements must be kept) to be discussed in the ADP to define issues of non-compliance with the UNFCCC and Kyoto Protocol. Venezuela submitted this proposal in writing and it will be further discussed at the next meetings. Kyoto Protocol (AWK-KP) In Bonn, negotiators had more productive discussions on the operational and legal issues for establishing a second commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol that will begin in 2013. Parties focused on three key topics: the length of the commitment period, the Assigned Amount Units (AAUs) that will be carried over from the first commitment period to the second, and how to ensure seamless continuity so that there are no legal gaps between commitment periods. On the length of the second commitment period, developed countries argued for an 8-year duration while Least Developed Countries (LDCs) and the Alliance of Small Island States (AOSIS), fearing for lock in a low level of ambition in such a long timeframe, argued for a 5-year commitment period (in case 8 year period agreed, a review of the mitigation targets should be undertaken in the middle of that period). Throughout the debate, countries called for increased ambition under the Kyoto Protocol and equivalent commitments of the growing list of countries that will not be a part of the second commitment period, namely the United States, Canada,

Russia, and Japan. New Zealand and Australia have declared that they will not join the second commitment period unless emissions reductions pledges are made by emerging economies. On ambition, the EU introduced two proposals. The first one would establish a review of the level of ambition of parties QELROs, coinciding with the 2013-2015 Review under the Convention, to address the concern raised by some parties that an 8-year commitment period would lock in a low level of ambition. The second one includes a simplified procedure to amend Protocol Annex B to facilitate an increase in the level of ambition by parties. Brazil introduced a proposal on revising QELROs with a view to strengthening commitments under the Protocol. The proposal indicates that Annex I parties may, at any time, strengthen their QELROs and ensure the immediate effect of such revision by: transferring AAUs to a cancellation account established for this purpose in the national registry. On carry-over of surplus AAUs, the African Group, AOSIS, and Brazil offered various new proposals. The issue will continue to be discussed. On legal issues parties considered legal aspects of the entry into force of the second commitment period under the Kyoto Protocol. Issues discussed included: how to secure continuity between the first and second commitment periods; the application of accounting rules in the second commitment period; options for provisional application of Protocol amendments to secure continuity pending their entry into force; and ways to raise ambition levels during the second commitment period. Many parties stressed the need for clarity on legal issues to ensure a seamless continuation of the Protocol beyond 2012. Enhanced actions under the Convention (AWG-LCA) Although many of the agreed processes and structures of the post 2012/2020 climate change regime have been moved to the regular subsidiary bodies for their operationalisation, still some very important issues under the LCA remain to be resolved, amongst which: how rapidly must the world cut and avoid further greenhouse gas emissions, how to allocate the effort and burden of doing that amongst countries, how much support in funds, technology and capacity building will developed countries provide to developing countries and how, and the legal form of all these issues. The main disputes were around keeping all the Bali results in the LCA for further negotiations (developing countries) or to deal only with those which were not forwarded to other fora and subsidiary bodies (developed countries). The LCA agenda still covers the same issues as before: Shared vision for long term cooperative actions Nationally appropriate mitigation commitments or actions by developed country Parties Nationally appropriate mitigation commitments or actions by developing country Parties (NAMAs) Policy approaches and positive incentives on issues relating to reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation in developing countries; and the role of conservation, sustainable management of forests and enhancement of forest carbon stocks in developing countries (REDD+) Sectoral approaches and sector-specific actions Various approaches, including opportunities for using markets to enhance the costeffectiveness of, and to promote, mitigation actions (market and non-market approaches) Response measures Adaptation Finance

Technology development and transfer Capacity building Review of the long-term global goal Other matterseconomies in transition and countries whose special circumstances have been recognized by the COP (Turkey) Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs) for developing countries (LCA, SBI, SBSTA):

After agreeing on main political issues following the Bali Action Plan2 the implementation of some is forwarded to the Subsidiary bodies. For example amongst others SBSTA was requested to develop general guidelines for domestic MRV of domestically supported NAMAs; the registry will be developed trough SBI by COP18; the composition, modalities and procedures of the team of ICA will be developed by SBI for adoption at COP18, etc. Developing country mitigation issues were considered in: LCA negotiation format, in an insession workshop, and in SBI and SBSTA. At the workshop on 18 May, developing countries presented diverse NAMAs. Details on the workshop could be found at: www.iisd.ca/vol12/enb12540e.html The work under LCA will be continued at next session, so far parties agreed to have more focused workshop on specific NAMAs, paying particular attention to support needed for their implementation. Issues still under discussion include: considering transferring of some NAMAs issues under the Subsidiary Bodies after the AWG-LCA finishes its work; developing guidelines for MRV of support; developing a common template for pledges from non- Annex I Parties; development of common accounting rules for NAMAs; a process to assess the needs for support for the preparation and implementation of NAMAs; work on the understanding of means of implementation; including technical, policy and institutional aspects; a process to support the preparation and implementation of NAMAs, including a possible mandate to the Consultative Group of Experts; identification of capacity constrains to prepare and formulate NAMAs; definition of NAMAs;

2 1/CP.16 B. 48. Agrees that developing country Parties will take nationally appropriate mitigation actions in the context of sustainable development, supported and enabled by technology, financing and capacity-building, aimed at achieving a deviation in emissions relative to business as usual emissions in 2020; 66. on a work programme for the development of modalities and guidelines for: facili tation of support to nationally appropriate mitigation actions through a registry; measurement, reporting and verification of supported actions and corresponding support; biennial reports as part of national communications from Parties not included in Annex I to the Convention; domestic verification of mitigation actions undertaken with domestic resources; and international cons ultations and analysis; 2/CP.17 B. 32. Encourages developing country Parties that are yet to submit information on nationally appropriate mitigation actions pursuant to decision 1/CP.16, paragraph 50, to do so, noting the need to extend flexibility to small island developing States and the least developed country Parties; Recognizing the need for support for enabling activities to assist developing country Parties in the identificatio n and preparation of nationally appropriate mitigation actions for submission to the registry, and support for their implementation, 41. Decides: That non -Annex I Parties shall submit a biennial update report every two years, either as a summary of parts of their national communication in the year in which the national communication is submitted or as a stand-alone update report; the least developed country Parties and small island developing States may submit biennial update reports at their discretion;

considering the matching of financial, technical and capacity-building support and NAMAs, including the role of the registry.

NAMAs Registry (SBI) The UNFCCC Secretariat presented the prototype of a registry, which matches NAMAs with developed countries support, and will also contain information on the domestically implemented NAMAs. The prototype was endorsed by the Parties, who proposed some additional features to it and the secretariat will now finalize a working prototype ready to be presented at Doha. Meanwhile developing countries can post their NAMAs at a page of the UNFCCC, for donors to be able to support. At the moment there is still not enough financial support for the development of the registry itself, which is of a concern for the developing countries. Biennial reports (LCA) GEF announced readiness to provide financial support to developing countries for the preparation of their biennial reports. International consultations and analysis (ICA) of the biennial reports (SBI): At this sessions work was focused on composition, modalities and procedures of the team of technical experts to perform the technical analysis of the biennial reports. There was no agreement and was decided to continue consideration at next session on the basis of draft text annexed to the conclusions. The main areas of agreement are the need to have an efficient, costefficient and practical international consultation and analysis (ICA) process, which does not impose an excessive burden on parties and the Secretariat by using some of the existing structures as CGE and roster of experts. General guidelines for domestic measurement, reporting and verification of domestically supported NAMAs (SBSTA): The interactive exchange of views on the guidelines will continue with a view to agreeing on the next steps at next meeting. Nationally appropriate mitigation commitments or actions by developed countries (LCA): All parties agreed to the continuation of the process to clarify developed country parties quantified economy-wide emission reduction targets is essential to enable the understanding of various issues, such as assumptions and conditions associated with the targets. A number of divergent views remained around issues related to: the comparability of efforts by all developed country parties as outlined in the Bali Action Plan and whether the ambition gap should be addressed in the AWG-LCA, ADP, or other bodies under the Convention. On the way forward it was agreed: to continue working on the clarification of targets in workshops, but in a more rigorous way and on the usefulness of updating the technical paper (FCCC/TP/2012/2) to incorporate additional information provided by parties. Divergent views were reported on the following: whether the update of the technical paper should be preceded by further submissions from developed country parties in the form of an agreed and updated common template; and on the next steps in and after Doha, including if the process of clarifying targets should continue, and if specific work should be carried out under the subsidiary bodies (SBs). Various approaches (LCA):

Various approaches to enhance the cost-effectiveness of, and to promote mitigation actions, via non-market and market based approaches, were considered during the sessions and during two in-session workshops. On a Framework for various approaches discussions were on the need for robust standards that deliver real, permanent, additional and verified mitigation outcomes, avoidance of double counting, and achievement of a net decrease and/or avoidance of greenhouse gas emissions. On the new market-based mechanisms, were discussed the need to elaborate modalities and procedures and specific elements of such mechanisms. As a way forward was concluded that the Secretariat will prepare a technical paper based on the submissions and workshops (including exploring cost effectiveness of the existing mechanisms, upon request of Ecuador); will continue discussions through workshops; and new submissions are invited. More details on the workshops, www.iisd.ca/download/pdf/enb12541e.pdf held on Saturday, 19 May on:

Capacity Building (AWG-LCA, Durban Forum, and SBI): On capacity building, developing countries support further discussion under LCA on: institutions, financial mechanisms, monitoring and performance tools, while developed countries preferred the discussions on capacity building to take place under the recently established Durban Forum for in-depth discussion on capacity building. Durban Forum on capacity building (SBI): The Durban Forum on capacity building held its first meeting on 22-23 May. The meeting was the first arrangement of its kind in the history of the UNFCCC that allowed for the direct participation of all stakeholders involved in building the capacity of developing countries to curb emissions and adapt to climate change. The Forum is organized by the SBI in the format of an annual, in-session, one-day event open to the participation of Parties, experts and practitioners from UN organizations, as well as representatives from admitted IGOs and NGOs, including research and academia. The outcomes emerging from the Durban Forum will support the SBI in conducting annual monitoring and periodic comprehensive reviews of the implementation of the framework for capacity-building in developing countries under the Convention (decision 2/CP.7). Capacity building for EITs (SBI): Third comprehensive review of the implementation of the framework for capacity-building in countries with economies in transition (EITs) was concluded, noting that capacity building for EITs is essential in enabling their commitments under the Convention. The EITs will continue to be supported in the implementation of both the UNFCCC and the KP. Parties and relevant organizations were invited to submit to the Secretariat, by February 2016, information on how they have implemented capacity-building activities. The SBI requests the Secretariat to prepare a synthesis report based on these submissions. Article 6 (education, training and awareness-raising) (SBI): Parties discussed a draft text submitted by the G-77/China on recommendations to be considered for the Doha Work Programme, and the role of the Secretariat and intergovernmental

organizations. They also heard recommendations from YOUNGOs, the Climate Action Network and Local Government and Municipal Authorities on issues to be strengthened in the text, including gender, local communities, and specific reporting requirements. SBI concluded that Parties agreed to continue consideration of this item at SBI 37 on the basis of the draft text contained in the annex, in which parties: decide to adopt the eight-year Doha Work Programme on Convention Article 6, as contained in the appendix to this decision; decide to review the work programme in 2020, with an intermediate review of progress in 2016; request the SBI to enhance the work on Convention Article 6 by organizing an annual insession dialogue. Under this discussion the EITs are arguing that they should be part of the programme. Other matters - economies in transition and countries whose special circumstances have been recognized by the COP (Turkey) (LCA): Only bilateral meetings were held with the chair of LCA. Turkeys proposal seeking to benefit from financial, capacity-building and technological support due to special circumstances recognized by the COP will continue to be considered at the next meeting. The EITs presented a draft decision text for consideration in Doha, on the financial support to the developing countries. The Technology Mechanism (considered jointly under both SBI and SBSTA): There was significant progress on technology and its consideration under other UNFCCC bodies. A rolling plan for the TEC was developed, constitution of the Advisory Board of CTNC was proposed, for a host of the CTCN the proposals received were evaluated by an evaluation panel nominated by the TEC and the evaluation panel concluded the shortlist with ranking of three proponents, which are: UNEP-led consortium, GEF, and DNV. A UNEP-led consortium was confirmed by Parties as the top-ranked candidate for hosting the Climate Technology Centre, from a short-list drawn up by an evaluation panel based on criteria specified and agreed on by Parties at COP17 in Durban. Work can now begin on drafting a host agreement for approval by the COP in Doha. Developing countries listed issues for further consideration, including: IPRs; linkages between the technology and financial mechanisms; possible additional functions for the Technology Executive Committee (TEC) in evaluating environmental aspects of technology; and the relationship between the TEC and the Climate Technology Centre and Network (CTCN). Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) under the CDM (SBSTA): Parties made progress on the establishment of global reserve of Certified Emission Reductions for CCS project activities under the CDM. Discussion focused on: the eligibility of CCS project activities that involve the transport of carbon dioxide from one country to another, or that involve geological storage sites that are located in more than one country; and the establishment of a global reserve of CER units for CCS project activities. In its conclusions it was agreed to continue consideration of this matter at SBSTA 37; inviting parties, intergovernmental organizations and admitted observer organizations, by 13 August 2012, to submit their views on the eligibility of certain CCS project activities: and requested the Secretariat to prepare a technical paper on the issue of transboundary effects of project activities for its consideration at next session.

Operationalisation of the Green Climate Fund: There was no established group to discuss the Green Climate Fund (GCF) in Bonn, as its operationalisation now takes place out of the negotiation process, the new financial mechanism was mentioned in almost every negotiation. Major questions arose about how the yet-to-beoperational fund will relate to the UNFCCC negotiations on mitigation, adaptation, technology, capacity building and REDD, and how it will cooperate with bodies such as the Technology Executive Committee, Adaptation Committee and Standing Committee on Finance. In the backdrop of the discussions, the first meeting of the GCF Board was postponed for the second time this year due to delays in confirming the nominations from regional groups. It will take place in June 2012. Given the commitment for the GCF to mobilize $100 billion per year by 2020, countries emphasized that the design of the fund should occur in a transparent and inclusive manner. The Africa Group went so far as to propose that the GCF be included in the discussions under the UNFCCC. This was met with disagreement from many developed countries, stating that only Board will have independent legal personality and the relationship of the GCF to the COP should be similar to that of the Global Environment Facility. All countries emphasized the urgency of getting the GCF operational and that there should be no funding gap between the end of the fast start finance period in 2013 and the first disbursements of the GCF. Another common theme among the discussions was the importance of identifying sources of climate finance and, in particular, the role of the private sector. Developed countries emphasized that the private sector must be mobilized by putting in place strong incentives for investment. Developing countries urged that private sector finance should not come at the expense of public commitments for finance, technology and capacity building. This debate will continue to Doha and beyond as countries attempt to further define the role of the private sector and how the political UNFCCC negotiations can offer enough stability and incentives for private sector engagement. There are 6 countries which are bidding to host the GCF: Germany; Mexico; Namibia; Poland; Republic of Korea; and Switzerland. The final decision should be taken at the next COP. The Interim secretariat (GEF) of the GCF and the Trustee (WB) are operational. One of the first tasks for 2012 is resourcing the Fund. The AWG-LCA will begin to undertake a programme of workshops in 2012 to start considering how to mobilize $100 billion in annual contributions to the Green Climate Fund. There is considerable dispute on whether the Fund should be resourced by direct contributions from developed country governments versus the leveraging of seed money from those governments through the private sector and other sources. International fees or taxes, such as a fee imposed upon the bunker fuels used for international maritime and aviation transportation, will also likely be considered. On the road from Durban to Doha The Bonn sessions further underscored that COP 18/CMP 8 in Doha will focus on clarifying and operationalising the structures that have been created over the last three years. Many negotiators have described the upcoming Doha meeting as an implementation COP, where discussions will not lead to major political breakthroughs, but rather implementing the decisions taken since Bali. As part of this effort, negotiators have already begun examining existing implementation arrangements and the lessons learned from the GEF, Adaptation Fund, bilaterally-funded progammes, workshops and other initiatives. In Bonn, meetings such as the Durban Forum for Capacity Building and workshops on Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs) offered negotiators and practitioners an important opportunity to learn from work on the ground.

Doha will also represent change in another way: both Ad Hoc working groups under the Bali Action Plan the AWG-KP and the AWG-LCA are scheduled to end in Doha. The difficulty of the ADP discussions in Bonn signalled that the delicate balance that has been carefully crafted must be handled with care. In many ways, Doha will test the ability of countries to trust the process and each other enough to resolve the issues of the AWG-KP and AWG-LCA so that the ADP can take more meaningful steps to support countries on climate change. Upcoming Meetings 30 August 5 September: UNFCCC negotiations in Bangkok, Thailand; 22 23 October in Seoul, Korea: Pre-COP ministerial meeting; 26 November 7 December in Doha, Qatar: COP 18/CMP 8.
