The objective of the Cross cutting workshop was to capture and discuss the cross cutting issues that arise in between the discussions on finance, technology, adaptation and mitigation, but also to capture issues such as gender and labour issues.
The Cross cutting issues workshop at the conference was organised by Tove Maria Ryding from the 92 group in consultation with colleagues in the CAN tech/finance/mitigation and adaptation working group.
Outcomes:
- Analysis of the status of UNFCCC negotiations concerning legal architecture issues, including an analysis of different party positions
- Lobby and strategy planning for the forthcoming session in June, hereunder analysis of the recent submissions of parties and country positions
- Discussion of trade and climate issues
- Identification and discussion of crosscutting finance, mitigation, technology, adaptation and institutional issues.
- Identification and analysis of the status of the negotiations, hereunder identification of the positive elements as well as counterproductive elements
Joint sessions with all participants created room for discussing cross cutting issues from various perspectives. Issues covered were:
- What role should existing institutions if any, play in a new financial architecture
- Will the proliferation of new institutions undermine the UNFCCC as the decision making body
- Should private funding pledged outside the UNFCCC be considered to be MRV and count as UNFCCC financing
- How can private and public funding be coordinated and support each other
Several back ground papers was prepared discussing the legal architecture, Trade and Climate issues and Climate Change and Equity.
