Development countries are supported by new climate regime

ECN and Ecofys have launched their mid-year update of the Annual Status Report on Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs). NAMAs are part of the new climate regime and intend to help developing countries pursue development while keeping emissions low(er).

The report presents a snapshot of the state of play for NAMAs. The data presented show a significant uptake in NAMA activities in the last six months. It presents an overview of new submissions to the UNFCCC, of actual NAMA activities around the world, and a review of ongoing support activities to prepare for NAMA development and implementation. A key feature of the report is a discussion of key topics of the policy debate on NAMAs highlighting those aspects where more insight, clarity or action is required. This is based on the inputs of a range of experts and practitioners active in the field of NAMAs, which were interviewed for the purpose of this report. 

The report is available for download here.
