We believe that the issues of share of proceeds and adaptation assistance should be dealt with under the one heading and in the main body of the Note rather than in an appendix. We are therefore submitting the following draft language as a coherent whole. We have included a statement to this effect in our comments on the Chairman's Note.
Proposed language
(a) | assist developing country Parties that are particularly vulnerable to the adverse effects of climate change to meet the costs of adaptation; and |
(b) | cover administrative expenses to support the operation of the executive board. |
(a) | assess the share of proceeds for the project activity as specified in paragraph 2 above; |
(b) | inform the project participant of the amount to be assessed. |
a) | They shall be country-driven and in conformity with the national strategies and priorities for sustainable development of the Parties concerned; |
b) | They shall address the specific vulnerabilities identified in the recipient Parties national communications; |
c) | They shall be implemented in a cost-effective manner; and |
d) | They shall take adequate account of relevant international agreements and internationally agreed programmes of action for sustainable development. |
