| Abstract | Awareness of the need to transition to a low-carbon economy has gained particular momentum in the last few years, especially in the run-up to the Copenhagen Conference in December 2009. The Copenhagen Accord demonstrated the resolve of countries to move forward to limit global GHG emissions. One of the key elements of the Accord is the commitment by Annex I countries to implement individually or jointly quantified economy-wide emissions reduction targets for 2020, and by a number of non Non-Annex I countries to implement mitigation actions.1 When combined with the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, these agreements contribute to a more predictable international framework for cooperation on climate change through 2020. They also frame expectations that nations will continue to strengthen cooperation to achieve global emission reductions and prevent dangerous climate change over the longer term. |
