Highlights from Thursday, 12 June
On Thursday, the AWG-LCA and AWG-KP reconvened in plenary sessions in the afternoon and evening to complete their work. The plenary sessions followed meetings of several contact groups and informal consultations throughout the day aimed at finalizing texts on outstanding issues such as the mechanisms under the AWG-KP, as well as several outstanding items under the SBI and SBSTA.

| Venezuela (left) called for “universalization” of the Protocol, stating that only one country with historical responsibility for greenhouse gas emissions has not ratified it. She stressed that cutting emissions by 2050 is not compatible with the sense of urgency to combat climate change. Artur Runge-Metzger, EU (right), said he had hoped for more progress in Bonn, predicted that further discussions would be difficult, and stressed his preparedness to work in Accra. He underscored the need to be innovative and open-minded to achieve an ambitious level of emission reductions. |
