Annual Status Report on Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs)
The Annual Status Report on NAMAs 2013 is a continuation of previously published NAMA Status Reports. The report presents an overview of the state of play of NAMAs and of support activities for NAMA development and implementation.
Like previous editions, this report is a joint effort by a number of organisations involved in NAMAs, be it through research, readiness activities or supporting NAMA development on the ground. The circle of contributing authors was expanded this year to take account of the growing expertise and different global perspectives. The editors, Ecofys and the Energy research Centre of the Netherlands (ECN), are joined by the Center for Clean Air Policy (CCAP), the World Resources Institute (WRI), the Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), the UNEP Risoe Centre, the Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) and the Overseas Environmental Cooperation Center of Japan (OECC) as contributing authors. A special contribution is made by the British German NAMA Facility to replace the previous chapter on recent trends in NAMA support, as the launch of the Facility represents the most significant development in this area.
The report begins with an overview of the latest statistics in NAMA development, drawing from the Ecofys NAMA Database aswell as the UNFCCC NAMA registry. This is followed by an analysis of areas in which progress is most needed. The subsequent contributions on specific NAMA related topics are authored by the different contributing organisations and hence may not represent the views of the entire group of authors.
