Durban Platform for Enhanced Actions (Building on the Bali Action Plan, Copenhagen & Cancun Agreements)
Modeling and Assessment of Domestic Actions• Coal tax and recycling of tax funds for clean energy
• Enhanced Energy Efficiency measures (e.g. PAT with EE Certificates, CAFE)
• Renewable Energy Push (e.g. RE Certificates)
• Mission on Sustainable Habitat (e.g. LEED Rated Buildings, Low Carbon Cities)
Modeling and Assessment of International Actions• UNFCCC Instruments
– CDM and NAMAs– UNFCCC Funds (e.g. Green Climate Fund)
• Bilateral Actions– Tech Transfer (e.g. CCS)– JVs (e.g. Transport: High Speed Rail, Freight Corridors)
• 20 to 25% Emissions Intensity Reduction from 2005 to 2020 (1.5 - 1.9% decoupling)• Per Capita Emissions Below OECD Average (for ever)• MRV/ICA (International Consultation and Analysis) of Domestic Actions (India’s Proposal at Cancun)
