Seychelles attends Bonn climate change negotiations ahead of Lima

Seychelles is being represented at a preparatory conference ahead of the 20th session of the Conference of the Parties (COP 20) to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) scheduled to take place in Lima, Peru, in December 2014.

The sixth part of the second session of the ad hoc Working Group on the Durban Platform for Enhanced Action (ADP 2-6) under the UNFCCC opened on Monday this week in Bonn, Germany, and will conclude on Saturday.

Under workstream 1, which focuses on the 2015 climate change agreement to be adopted in Paris, countries will continue elaborating the elements for a draft negotiating text, which will serve as the foundation for the final construction of the 2015 outcome. The ADP will also work on a draft decision that captures the type of information countries will provide when they communicate their intended nationally determined contributions (INDCs) and how these contributions will be considered. This draft decision will be submitted for consideration in Lima.
