UNEP-SBCI Official Submission to AWG-LCA
In order for the Copenhagen Agreement to best address the potential of property and buildings to deliver greenhouse gas emission cuts, UNEP-SBCI submitted official input to the Ad-Hoc Working Group on Long- Term Cooperative Action under the Convention (AWG-LCA).
UNEP-SBCI proposes that emission reduction in buildings is recognized as an appropriate area for NAMA (Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Action) and that the development of frameworks required to monitor, report and verify such actions are included in a post-2012 Agreement.
