Item 3

FURTHER GUIDANCE IN RELATION TO THE MITIGATION SECTION OF DECISION 1/CP.21 ON:

(a) FEATURES OF NATIONALLY DETERMINED CONTRIBUTIONS, AS SPECIFIED IN PARAGRAPH 26

(b) INFORMATION TO FACILITATE CLARITY, TRANSPARENCY AND

UNDERSTANDING OF NATIONALLY DETERMINED CONTRIBUTIONS, AS SPECIFIED IN PARAGRAPH 28

(c) ACCOUNTING FOR PARTIES’ NATIONALLY DETERMINED CONTRIBUTIONS, AS SPECIFIED IN PARAGRAPH 31

Question 1:

Should the features and information on Nationally Determined Contributions be tailored to the type of NDCs or should they be tailored on some other basis? If so what? What lessons can be drawn in this respect from the INDCs already submitted?

• Feature of NDCs should be guided by relevant Articles under PA and accompanying decision. The features and information on NDCs should be tailored to the types of NDCs, to accommodate diversity of national circumstances, capacity, capabilities, and needs as well as the country’s potential mitigation actions and means of implementation available.

• Many lessons can be drawn from submitted INDCs on features and information to provide transparency, clarity and understanding. Drawing from the features of INDC, information provided, we could identify what are commonalities that we should have in the feature of future NDC and what we should differentiated (provide flexibility), including types and level of detail of information.

Question 2:

Can the existing guidance on accounting under the Convention be taken into account, and if so how? How detailed or general should the guidance be and what should it address?

• The guidance should be build on existing system (could be drawn from experiences under KP and REDD+). The experiences, challenges and lesson learned can be drawn from those existing systems.

• The guidance should also be built on existing system, flexible for allowing improvement over time, taking into account provision of supports,

• Guidance for accounting should be differentiated based on type of NDCs, and flexibility is a key to allow Parties with different national circumstances and capacities to implement the guidance, as well as allowing for improvement over time.

• Indonesia Welcome submission on the feature and accounting.
