Two
New World Bank Carbon Facilities Will Help Fight Climate
Change And Deforestation
The World Bank is working to increase
significantly the world’s ability to tackle global
climate change and deforestation with two new carbon finance
facilities to benefit developing countries. An innovative
Forest Carbon Partnership Facility (FCPF) would prevent
deforestation by compensating developing countries for
carbon dioxide reductions realized by maintaining their
forests.

Decisions
adopted by COP 13 and CMP 3
The conference culminated in the adoption
of the Bali roadmap, which charts the course for a new
negotiating process to be concluded by 2009 that will
ultimately lead to a post-2012 international agreement
on climate change. Ground-breaking decisions were taken
which form core elements of the roadmap. They include
the launch of the Adaptation Fund as well as decisions
on technology transfer and on reducing emissions from
deforestation. These decisions represent various tracks
that are essential to achieving a secure climate future.

Fahrplan:
"Bali-Roadmap"
Die Weltklimakonferenz auf Bali hat
einen Fahrplan, die "Bali- Roadmap", für
die Zeit nach dem Kioto-Protokoll strukturiert:
Bis 2009 wollen die Mitgliedsstaaten der UN-Klimarahmenkonvention
(inklusive USA) und des Kioto- Protokolls (das die USA nie
unterzeichnet haben) ein Langzeitprogramm zum Treibhausgasabbau
erstellen. Auch die USA haben Verpflichtungen eingestanden.
Dabei sein sollen erstmals auch Entwicklungsländer.
Die Industrieländer wollen über neue Treibhausgas-Reduktionen
verhandeln.

Bali
breakthrough launches historic climate talks
Nearly 200 nations agreed at U.N.-led
talks in Bali on Saturday to launch negotiations on a new
pact to fight global warming after a reversal by the United
States allowed a historic breakthrough.
Washington said the agreement marked a new chapter in climate
diplomacy after six years of disputes with major allies
since President George W. Bush pulled out in 2001 from the
Kyoto Protocol, the main existing plan for combating warming.

Hoping
for a deal on the road to Bali
The United Nations Climate Change Conference
on the Indonesian island of Bali in December is not expected
to achieve any dramatic breakthroughs on saving the planet
from global warming, a senior official of the Intergovernmental
Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) told IRIN. But it could well

emissions, predicted Rajendra Pachauri, the IPCC chair.

EU
to press for post-Kyoto deal within two years
The European Union is to press world governments
to agree on a successor to the Kyoto Protocol on climate
change by the end of 2009, the 27-member bloc's top environment
official said Tuesday. "As things stand today, Kyoto
will expire (in 2012) with nothing to follow it ... We must
set a deadline to reach a new agreement by the end of 2009,
to give us time to bring it into force by 2012," EU
Environment Commissioner Stavros Dimas told journalists.
