UNFCCC Negotiations

Increasing ambition, acknowledging resource rights, ensuring the launch of non-market mechanisms for climate action.  These are key CLARA goals during UNFCCC negotiations. CLARA members have participated in every UNFCCC Conference of the Parties over the last decade.  During these two week events, CLARA members argue for greater attention to rights, for deepening the work program on agriculture, for fair and robust accounting rules as part of ‘nationally determined contributions’ (NDCs), and for launch of a non-market mechanism under Article 6.  CLARA’s submission to the UNFCCC on this topic is found here.

CLARA seeks most of all full and ambitious implementation of the Paris Agreement mandate. That includes commitments to climate-change mitigation that limits warming to less than 2°C. That includes comprehensive NDCs, covering mitigation, adaptation, finance, tech transfer, and other forms of assistance as part of a ‘balanced package.’ This in line with the principles of equity found in the Paris Agreement.  

CLARA members will again be present at COP26 in Glasgow.  To stay up to date, please follow @CLARA_Alliance on Twitter and check our News page.
