On Wednesday morning, the Working Group continued exchanging views on a Co-Chairs’ non-paper containing draft elements for recommendations to the General Assembly. The G-77/China, the EU, Mexico, and New Zealand tabled written proposals.

An informal group met at lunchtime to develop an informal working paper as a basis for negotiations in plenary.
