Writing from the UN climate negotiations in Bonn Germany, where the AOSIS island nations and EU recently proposed a formal “adding up” of the mitigation pledges to the UNFCCC.
A recent text in the AWG-KP group included, “The AWG-KP requested the secretariat… prepare an analysis of the pledges for emissions reduction provided by Annex 1 Parties.” And the EU then added, “and their contribution to the ultimate goal of the Convention.”
We’re excited to see this request — if accepted, it would involve the work of the Climate Scoreboard with C-ROADS as well as our colleagues at Climate Analytics, Project Catalyst, the Grantham Institute, WRI, UNEP and others who were part of a group press release on the “adding up” work.
