• Laying the basis for ambition to match the science
• Define a robust process to negotiate an agreement on new sources of Finance
• Advance MRV guidelines, modalities and timetables
• Advance work on the content and modalities of Low-Carbon Development Strategies for developed and developing countries.
• Deepen agreements on the Cancun Adaptation Framework and emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD+)
