My name is Manjeet Dhakal and I am from Nepal.

\nClimate change is already melting glaciers and putting my community at risk.
\nThe following urgent action is needed to close the ambition gap and keep
\nwarming at a level that my country can adapt to – no more than 1.5 degrees.
\n
\nFirstly developed countries must move to the top end of their pledged ranges.
\nSecondly, at your next meeting, identify a pathway for developed countries to
\nincrease ambition to more than 40% by 2020 and make this target a
\nmilestone in low carbon development strategies. Show us how you will
\ndecarbonise your economies!
\n
\nDeveloping countries can also contribute to global ambition, by more clearly
\nidentifying assumptions, and beginning a process to agree guidelines for
\nbusiness as usual baselines. Developing countries should then articulate
\nhow much their mitigation effort could increase with financial and
\ntechnological support. Clearly, further technical work is necessary on the
\nNAMA registry before Durban, to understand how developing country
\nmitigation effort will be recorded and supported.
\n
\nIf negotiations continue on their current path there is a danger we will create a
\nGreen Climate Fund without any funds! The current commitments for climate
\nfinance in 2013 are zero. Parties should provide submissions, and hold
\nworkshops before Durban, on mid and long term sources of funding –
\nincluding supplementary innovative sources, such as bunker levies, financial
\ntransaction taxes and special drawing rights. Including a discussion on
\nCBDR, no net incidence and compensation. We do not want to fall off the cliff
\nof fast start finance, only to see the mountain of long term finance in front of
\nus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
