High-level round table on market approaches for enhanced climate action


Many of the issues under consideration in Warsaw seek to strengthen the suite of tools that Parties, the private sector and civil society have at their disposal to incentivize investment to address climate change and facilitate international cooperation in a cost efficient way.

Examples include the existing market-based mechanisms under the Kyoto Protocol, Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions, the New Market Mechanism, Non-market-based approaches, and Framework for various approaches.

This round table aims to cut through the complexity of the UNFCCC negotiations with respect to how and where market-based tools and approaches are addressed, both inside and outside the UNFCCC process, in an effort to avoid overlapping features and double counting of efforts and to promote efficiency.
