III. COP 20 NEGOTIATIONS AND OUTCOME

The Lima Conference included not only the COP20 session to the UNFCCC and the CMP10session to the Kyoto Protocol, but also three subsidiary bodies (SBs) sessions: the 41st sessionsof the Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice (SBSTA41) and the SubsidiaryBody for Implementation (SBI41), and the seventh part of the second session of the Ad HocWorking Group on the Durban Platform for Enhanced Action (ADP). It brought together over11000 participants, including approximately 6300 government officials, 4000 representativesfrom UN bodies and agencies, intergovernmental organizations and civil society organizations,and 900 members of the media.

Negotiations in Lima focused on outcomes under the ADP necessary to advance towards anagreement in Paris at COP 21 in 2015, including elaboration of the information, and process,required for submission of intended nationally determined contributions (INDCs) as early aspossible in 2015 and progress on elements of a draft negotiating text. Following lengthynegotiations on a draft decision for advancing the ADP, which was the part attracting mostinterested from the European Parliament delegation, COP 20 adopted the “Lima Call forClimate Action”, which sets in motion the negotiations in the coming year towards a 2015agreement, the process for submitting and reviewing INDCs, and enhancing pre-2020 ambition.

During the Lima Conference, new commitments were made to the Green Climate Fund thattook it past the 10 billion dollars mark (almost 50% have been pledged by the EU Memberstates), however this amount falls below developing countries’ expectations and what waspromised them in the Copenhagen Accord.

Parties also adopted 19 decisions, 17 under the COP20 and 2 under the CMP11 that: helpoperationalize the Warsaw International Mechanism for Loss and Damage; establish the Limawork programme on gender; and adopt the Lima Declaration on Education and AwarenessRaising. The Lima Conference was able to lay the groundwork for Paris next year, by capturingprogress made in elaborating the elements of a draft negotiating text for the 2015 agreementand adopting a decision on INDCs, including their scope, upfront information, and steps to betaken after their submission.

The key outcome from Lima, the decision on Advancing the Durban Platform and its annexcontaining elements for a draft negotiating text, may have served to move the process forwardand create a shared feeling of achievement and confidence in the process. However, keypolitical issues, including differentiation and finance, remained unresolved for the next yearnegotiations towards Paris COP21.
