According to the Bali Action Plan, the negotiations are proceeding under two tracks. First, the {"}Ad Hoc Working Group on Further Commitments by Annex I Countries under the Kyoto Protocol (AWG-KP){"}, which was established at CMP 1 in Montreal in 2005, is negotiating future emission targets for industrialised countries (listed in Annex I of the UNFCCC). Second, while the {"}Ad Hoc Working Group on Long-term Cooperative Action under the Convention (AWG-LCA){"} also negotiates commitments for Annex I countries, in practice this was originally deemed to relate in particular to those that have not ratified the Protocol - that is, the USA. In addition, the AWG-LCA negotiates {"}nationally appropriate mitigation actions (NAMAs){"} of developing countries, which are to be supported and enabled by industrialised countries through technology, financing and capacity building. Both the NAMAs and the support are to be undertaken in a measurable, reportable and verifiable manner. Finally, the AWG-LCA negotiates ways to enhance adaptation efforts of developing countries, which are also to be financially and technologically supported by industrialised countries.}, language = {en} }
