WARSAW, POLAND (November 18, 2013)- Over the course of the first week of the UNFCCC COP19, key issues for WEDO were actively addressed and negotiated under the Conference of Parties (COP), the Meeting of Parties (CMP), the Ad hoc Working Group on the Durban Platform for Enhanced Action (ADP), and not least, the 39th sessions of the subsidiary bodies on implementation and scientific and technological advice (SBI and SBSTA). The SBs that opened on Monday, November 11th, and closed on Saturday, November 16th, covered many of WEDO’s priority issues listed for COP19, which WEDO monitored closely, including adaptation (NAPs, the Adaptation Fund, the Adaptation Committee), loss and damage, mitigation (REDD+, the CDM), agriculture, capacity building, Article 6, and gender and climate change.
