| AWG-LCA: Workshop on a shared vision |

| Philip Weech, the Bahamas, for AOSIS (right), said a shared vision should prevent further impacts on SIDS and LDCs. He supported stabilization at 350 ppm and limiting temperature increase to 1.5ºC, and called for mitigation by all parties. |
William Kojo, Ghana (left), said a shared vision should address all elements of the Bali Action Plan, and not be temporarily limited in terms of actors and actions.
André Odenbreit Carvalho, Brazil (right), said a shared vision covers all building blocks, guided by the provisions and principles of the Convention. On mitigation, he supported 25-40% emission reductions by Annex I countries, substantial deviation from the baseline by non-Annex I countries, and burden sharing based on historical responsibility and equity.
