Bali Road Map

The Bali Road Map (also Bali Roadmap ) is the central outcome of the UN Climate Change Conference in Bali. In a broader sense so that all final documents of the Conference referred to, in the strict sense of the " Bali Action Plan" (Decision 1/CP.13 ), which sets the timetable according to which a succession plan for the phased-out end of 2012 Kyoto Protocol to be developed. In addition, the Bali Action Plan contains substantive requirements on the from 2013 [deprecated ] apply to end climate agreement.

Contents of the Bali Action Plan

Content requirements are set for the following areas:

Combating climate change: The developed countries must commit to measurable and verifiable emission reductions; developing countries need to take nationally appropriate efforts to measurable and verifiable emission reduction, whereby they are technically, financially and supported by capacity development. To develop approaches and incentives to reduce deforestation and destruction of forests and promote sustainable forestry practices and conservation of forests and carbon sinks. There are approaches are being developed, such as the use of market forces to reduce the cost of these measures and thus to promote their use.

Adapting to Climate Change: International cooperation in the development of measures to adapt to climate change, in particular the least developed countries, the most threatened islands and vulnerable to drought, desertification and flooding African countries should be supporting. This includes risk management and disaster prevention strategies and economic diversification, as this strengthens resistance.

Development and technology transfer: Accelerated Development and transfer of technologies to combat and adapt to climate change, among others, by removing obstacles that hinder the development of environmentally friendly technology and its application in developing countries; Cooperation in research and development

Funding: Improving access to financial resources to combat climate change and adaptation to climate change including through new and additional financial incentives for the implementation of control and adaptation strategies and mobilizing public and private resources by facilitating climate-friendly investments.

The successor agreement to the Kyoto Protocol to be adopted at the UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen; to prepare a working group ( "Ad Hoc Working Group on Long -term Cooperative Action under the Convention, in short AWG -LCA) is used, which is to complete its work by the end of 2009 (before the Copenhagen conference ). The first four meetings of this working group are in the March / April 2008, June 2008, August / September 2008 and December 2008 to take place ( during the UN Climate Change Conference in Poznan ).

Implementation of the Bali Action Plan

Sessions of the AWG -LCA took place from March 31 to April 4, 2008 in Bangkok, from 2 to 13 June 2008 in Bonn, from 21 to 27 August in Accra (Ghana), during the 14th UN Climate Change Conference in Posen ( 1 to 12 December 2008), 29 March to 8 April 2009, from 1 to 12 June and from 10th to August 14th, 2009 respectively in Bonn, from 28 September to 9 October 2009 in Bangkok, held from 2nd to 6th November in Barcelona and during the 15th UN climate Change Conference in December 2009 in Copenhagen. The working group was not able to develop a consensus proposal for a successor agreement by the end of 2009; a successor agreement to the Kyoto protocol has not been adopted in Copenhagen ( see there). The working group was therefore continued with the aim to develop a successor agreement to the UN Climate Change Conference 2010 in Mexico. The first meeting for this purpose was held from 9 to 11 April 2010, the second from 31 May to 11 June 2010 in Bonn. Both have brought no result.
