In addition: (a) "Convention" means the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, adopted in New York on 9 May 1992; (b) "Conference of the Parties" means the Conference of the Parties to the Convention; (c) "Party" means a Party to this Agreement. 1. This Agreement, in enhancing the implementation of the Convention, including its objective, aims to strengthen the global response to the threat of climate change, in the context of sustainable development and efforts to eradicate poverty, including by: (a) Holding the increase in the global average temperature to well below 2 °C above pre-industrial levels and pursuing efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels, recognizing that this would significantly reduce the risks and impacts of climate change; (b) Increasing the ability to adapt to the adverse impacts of climate change and foster climate resilience and low greenhouse gas emissions development, in a manner that does not threaten food production; and (c) Making finance flows consistent with a pathway towards low greenhouse gas emissions and climate-resilient development. 2. This Agreement will be implemented to reflect equity and the principle of common but differentiated responsibilities and respective capabilities, in the light of different national circumstances. As nationally determined contributions to the global response to climate change, all Parties are to undertake and communicate ambitious efforts as defined in Articles 4, 7, 9, 10, 11 and 13 with the view to achieving the purpose of this Agreement as set out in Article 2. The efforts of all Parties will represent a progression over time, while recognizing the need to support developing country Parties for the effective implementation of this Agreement. 1. In order to achieve the long-term temperature goal set out in Article 2, Parties aim to reach global peaking of greenhouse gas emissions as soon as possible, recognizing that peaking will take longer for developing country Parties, and to undertake rapid reductions thereafter in accordance with best available science, so as to achieve a balance between anthropogenic emissions by sources and removals by sinks of greenhouse gases in the second half of this century, on the basis of equity, and in the context of sustainable development and efforts to eradicate poverty. 2. Each Party shall prepare, communicate and maintain successive nationally determined contributions that it intends to achieve. Parties shall pursue domestic mitigation measures, with the aim of achieving the objectives of such contributions. 3. Each Party's successive nationally determined contribution will represent a progression beyond the Party's then current nationally determined contribution and reflect its highest possible ambition, reflecting its common but differentiated responsibilities and respective capabilities, in the light of different national circumstances. 4. Developed country Parties should continue taking the lead by undertaking economy-wide absolute emission reduction targets. Developing country Parties should continue enhancing their mitigation efforts, and are encouraged to move over time towards economy-wide emission reduction or limitation targets in the light of different national circumstances. 5. Support shall be provided to developing country Parties for the implementation of this Article, in accordance with Articles 9, 10 and 11, recognizing that enhanced support for developing country Parties will allow for higher ambition in their actions. 6. The least developed countries and small island developing States may prepare and communicate strategies, plans and actions for low greenhouse gas emissions development reflecting their special circumstances. 7. Mitigation co-benefits resulting from Parties' adaptation actions and/or economic diversification plans can contribute to mitigation outcomes under this Article. 8. In communicating their nationally determined contributions, all Parties shall provide the information necessary for clarity, transparency and understanding in accordance with decision 1/CP.21 and any relevant decisions of the Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to this Agreement. 9. Each Party shall communicate a nationally determined contribution every five years in accordance with decision 1/CP.21 and any relevant decisions of the Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to this Agreement and be informed by the outcomes of the global stocktake referred to in Article 14. 10. The Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to this Agreement shall consider common time frames for nationally determined contributions at its first session. 11. A Party may at any time adjust its existing nationally determined contribution with a view to enhancing its level of ambition, in accordance with guidance adopted by the Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to this Agreement. 12. Nationally determined contributions communicated by Parties shall be recorded in a public registry maintained by the secretariat. 13. Parties shall account for their nationally determined contributions. In accounting for anthropogenic emissions and removals corresponding to their nationally determined contributions, Parties shall promote environmental integrity, transparency, accuracy, completeness, comparability and consistency, and ensure the avoidance of double counting, in accordance with guidance adopted by the Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to this Agreement. 14. In the context of their nationally determined contributions, when recognizing and implementing mitigation actions with respect to anthropogenic emissions and removals, Parties should take into account, as appropriate, existing methods and guidance under the Convention, in the light of the provisions of paragraph 13 of this Article. 15. Parties shall take into consideration in the implementation of this Agreement the concerns of Parties with economies most affected by the impacts of response measures, particularly developing country Parties. 16. Parties, including regional economic integration organizations and their member States, that have reached an agreement to act jointly under paragraph 2 of this Article shall notify the secretariat of the terms of that agreement, including the emission level allocated to each Party within the relevant time period, when they communicate their nationally determined contributions. The secretariat shall in turn inform the Parties and signatories to the Convention of the terms of that agreement. 17. Each party to such an agreement shall be responsible for its emission level as set out in the agreement referred to in paragraph 16 of this Article in accordance with paragraphs 13 and 14 of this Article and Articles 13 and 15. 18. If Parties acting jointly do so in the framework of, and together with, a regional economic integration organization which is itself a Party to this Agreement, each member State of that regional economic integration organization individually, and together with the regional economic integration organization, shall be responsible for its emission level as set out in the agreement communicated under paragraph 16 of this Article in accordance with paragraphs 13 and 14 of this Article and Articles 13 and 15. 19. All Parties should strive to formulate and communicate long-term low greenhouse gas emission development strategies, mindful of Article 2 taking into account their common but differentiated responsibilities and respective capabilities, in the light of different national circumstances. 1. Parties should take action to conserve and enhance, as appropriate, sinks and reservoirs of greenhouse gases as referred to in Article 4, paragraph 1(d), of the Convention, including forests. 2. Parties are encouraged to take action to implement and support, including through results-based payments, the existing framework as set out in related guidance and decisions already agreed under the Convention for: policy approaches and positive incentives for activities relating to reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation, and the role of conservation, sustainable management of forests and enhancement of forest carbon stocks in developing countries; and alternative policy approaches, such as joint mitigation and adaptation approaches for the integral and sustainable management of forests, while reaffirming the importance of incentivizing, as appropriate, non-carbon benefits associated with such approaches. 1. Parties recognize that some Parties choose to pursue voluntary cooperation in the implementation of their nationally determined contributions to allow for higher ambition in their mitigation and adaptation actions and to promote sustainable development and environmental integrity. 2. Parties shall, where engaging on a voluntary basis in cooperative approaches that involve the use of internationally transferred mitigation outcomes towards nationally determined contributions, promote sustainable development and ensure environmental integrity and transparency, including in governance, and shall apply robust accounting to ensure, inter alia, the avoidance of double counting, consistent with guidance adopted by the Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to this Agreement. 3. The use of internationally transferred mitigation outcomes to achieve nationally determined contributions under this Agreement shall be voluntary and authorized by participating Parties. 4. A mechanism to contribute to the mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions and support sustainable development is hereby established under the authority and guidance of the Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to this Agreement for use by Parties on a voluntary basis. It shall be supervised by a body designated by the Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to this Agreement, and shall aim: (a) To promote the mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions while fostering sustainable development; (b) To incentivize and facilitate participation in the mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions by public and private entities authorized by a Party; (c) To contribute to the reduction of emission levels in the host Party, which will benefit from mitigation activities resulting in emission reductions that can also be used by another Party to fulfil its nationally determined contribution; and (d) To deliver an overall mitigation in global emissions. 5. Emission reductions resulting from the mechanism referred to in paragraph 4 of this Article shall not be used to demonstrate achievement of the host Party's nationally determined contribution if used by another Party to demonstrate achievement of its nationally determined contribution. 6.

Za namen tega sporazuma se uporabljajo opredelitve pojmov iz 1. člena konvencije. Poleg tega: (a) „konvencija“ pomeni Okvirno konvencijo Združenih narodov o spremembi podnebja, sprejeto v New Yorku 9. maja 1992; (b) „Konferenca pogodbenic“ pomeni Konferenco pogodbenic konvencije; (c) „pogodbenica“ pomeni pogodbenico tega sporazuma.

1. Sporazum je kot prispevek k izvajanju konvencije, tudi k uresničevanju njenega cilja, namenjen krepitvi svetovnega odziva na grožnje, ki jih prinašajo podnebne spremembe, v okviru trajnostnega razvoja in prizadevanj za odpravo revščine, med drugim: (a) z ohranitvijo dviga povprečne globalne temperature občutno pod 2 °C v primerjavi s predindustrijsko dobo in prizadevanji, da se dvig temperature omeji na 1,5 °C v primerjavi s predindustrijsko dobo, saj bi se tako občutno zmanjšali tveganja in učinki podnebnih sprememb; (b) s krepitvijo sposobnosti za prilagajanje na škodljive učinke podnebnih sprememb in odpornosti proti podnebnim spremembam ter spodbujanjem razvoja družbe z nizkimi emisijami toplogrednih plinov, ne da bi to ogrozilo pridelavo hrane; (c) z uskladitvijo finančnih tokov z razvojem, usmerjenim v zmanjšanje emisij toplogrednih plinov in večjo odpornost proti podnebnim spremembam. 2. Sporazum se bo izvajal v duhu pravičnosti in ob upoštevanju načela skupne, vendar različne odgovornosti in posamičnih zmožnosti, ob upoštevanju značilnih razmer v posameznih državah.

Vse pogodbenice si morajo za uresničevanje namena sporazuma iz 2. člena v skladu s 4., 7., 9., 10., 11. in 13. členom zastaviti in sporočiti smele zaveze kot nacionalno določen prispevek k svetovnemu odzivu na podnebne spremembe. Zaveze vseh pogodbenic se bodo v prihodnje povečevale, pri čemer pa bo treba pogodbenicam v razvoju pomagati, da bi lahko sporazum uspešno izvajale.

1. Da bi dosegli dolgoročni cilj glede dviga temperature iz 2. člena, si pogodbenice prizadevajo čim prej doseči najvišjo skupno raven emisij toplogrednih plinov, pri čemer se zavedajo, da bodo pogodbenice v razvoju za to potrebovale več časa; nato si bodo prizadevale za naglo zmanjševanje teh emisij skladno z najboljšimi razpoložljivimi znanstvenimi dognanji, da bi v drugi polovici tega stoletja dosegli ravnovesje med emisijami toplogrednih plinov iz antropogenih virov in njihovim zajemanjem v ponore, in sicer na podlagi pravičnosti ter v okviru trajnostnega razvoja in prizadevanj za odpravo revščine. 2. Vsaka pogodbenica redno pripravlja, sporoča in posodablja nacionalno določeni prispevek, ki ga namerava doseči. Pogodbenice izvajajo notranje ukrepe za blaženje podnebnih sprememb, da bi dosegle cilje svojih prispevkov. 3. Vsak naslednji nacionalno določeni prispevek pogodbenice bo pomenil napredek v primerjavi s prejšnjim; za cilj si bo zastavil najbolj smelo raven, ki jo država lahko doseže ter je odsev njene skupne, vendar različne odgovornosti in posamičnih zmožnosti, ob upoštevanju značilnih razmer v posameznih državah. 4. Razvite pogodbenice naj ohranijo vodilno vlogo, in sicer z določitvijo ciljev zmanjšanja emisij v absolutnih vrednostih za celotno gospodarstvo. Pogodbenice v razvoju naj še naprej krepijo prizadevanja za blaženje podnebnih sprememb; hkrati naj si prizadevajo sčasoma določiti cilje zmanjšanja ali omejitve emisij za celotno gospodarstvo, ob upoštevanju značilnih razmer v posameznih državah. 5. Pogodbenice v razvoju bodo skladno z 9., 10. in 11. členom deležne pomoči pri izvajanju tega člena, saj si bodo z večjo pomočjo lahko zastavile višje cilje. 6. Najmanj razvite države in male otoške države v razvoju lahko pripravijo in sporočijo strategije, načrte in ukrepe za razvoj, usmerjen v družbo z nizkimi emisijami toplogrednih plinov, ki odsevajo njihove posebne značilnosti. 7. Ukrepi pogodbenic za prilagajanje podnebnim spremembam in diverzifikacija gospodarstva prinašajo dodatne koristi, ki lahko okrepijo učinek blaženja iz tega člena. 8. Pri sporočanju nacionalno določenega prispevka vse pogodbenice predložijo informacije, potrebne za zagotovitev jasnosti, preglednosti in razumljivosti, skladno s sklepom 1/CP.21 in vsemi ustreznimi sklepi Konference pogodbenic v vlogi skupščine pogodbenic sporazuma. 9. Vsaka pogodbenica nacionalno določeni prispevek sporoči vsakih pet let, skladno s sklepom 1/CP.21 in vsemi ustreznimi sklepi Konference pogodbenic v vlogi skupščine pogodbenic sporazuma, ob upoštevanju svetovnega pregleda iz 14. člena. 10. Na prvem zasedanju Konference pogodbenic v vlogi skupščine pogodbenic sporazuma se določijo skupni časovni okviri za nacionalno določene prispevke. 11. Pogodbenica lahko svoj trenutni nacionalno določeni prispevek kadar koli spremeni in si zastavi višje cilje, skladno z usmeritvami, ki jih sprejme Konferenca pogodbenic v vlogi skupščine pogodbenic sporazuma. 12. Nacionalno določeni prispevki pogodbenic se vnesejo v javni register, ki ga vodi sekretariat. 13. Pogodbenice so odgovorne za nacionalno določene prispevke. Pri poročanju o antropogenih emisijah in zajemanju v skladu z nacionalno določenim prispevkom si prizadevajo za okoljsko celovitost, preglednost, točnost, popolnost, primerljivost in doslednost ter se izogibajo dvojnemu obračunavanju skladno z usmeritvami, ki jih sprejme Konferenca pogodbenic v vlogi skupščine pogodbenic sporazuma. 14. V zvezi z nacionalno določenimi prispevki naj pogodbenice pri opredeljevanju in izvajanju ukrepov za zmanjšanje antropogenih emisij in zajemanje po možnosti upoštevajo obstoječe metode in usmeritve po konvenciji, ob upoštevanju določb trinajstega odstavka tega člena. 15. Pogodbenice pri izvajanju sporazuma upoštevajo pomisleke pogodbenic, katerih gospodarstva bodo odzivni ukrepi najbolj prizadeli, zlasti pogodbenic v razvoju. 16. Pogodbenice, skupaj z regionalnimi organizacijami za gospodarsko povezovanje in njihovimi državami članicami, ki so se dogovorile za skupno ukrepanje skladno z drugim odstavkom tega člena, pri poročanju o svojem nacionalno določenem prispevku sekretariat obvestijo o vsebini dogovora, tudi o ravni emisij, dodeljeni vsaki od pogodbenic za ustrezno obdobje. Sekretariat z vsebino dogovora seznani pogodbenice in podpisnice konvencije. 17. Vsaka udeleženka dogovora je odgovorna za svojo raven emisij, določeno v dogovoru iz šestnajstega odstavka tega člena v skladu s trinajstim in štirinajstim odstavkom tega člena ter 13. in 15. členom. 18. Če se pogodbenice odločijo za skupno ukrepanje in to počnejo v okviru regionalne organizacije za gospodarsko povezovanje, ki je tudi sama pogodbenica sporazuma, in skupaj z njo, je vsaka od držav članic posamično in skupaj s to organizacijo v skladu s trinajstim in štirinajstim odstavkom tega člena ter 13. in 15. členom odgovorna za svojo raven emisij, določeno v dogovoru, o katerem je bil sekretariat obveščen skladno s šestnajstim odstavkom tega člena. 19. Vse pogodbenice naj si prizadevajo za oblikovanje in sporočanje dolgoročnih strategij razvoja, usmerjenega v družbo z nizkimi emisijami toplogrednih plinov, ob zavedanju, da 2. člen opredeljuje njihovo skupno, vendar različno odgovornost in zmožnosti, ob upoštevanju značilnih razmer v posameznih državah.

1. Pogodbenice bi morale sprejeti ukrepe za ohranjanje in po potrebi povečanje zmogljivosti ponorov in zbiralnikov toplogrednih plinov, skupaj z gozdovi, kakor je navedeno v točki (d) prvega odstavka 4. člena konvencije. 2. Pogodbenice se spodbujajo k sprejetju ukrepov, s katerimi bodo, tudi prek plačil na osnovi rezultatov, izvajale in podpirale obstoječi okvir usmeritev in sklepov po konvenciji glede: politik in spodbud za zmanjševanje emisij zaradi krčenja in degradacije gozdov, pomena ohranjanja, trajnostnega gospodarjenja z gozdovi in povečevanja gozdnih zalog ogljika v državah v razvoju ter alternativnih politik, denimo skupnih politik blaženja in prilagajanja za celovito in trajnostno gospodarjenje z gozdovi, ob potrditvi, da je treba, kadar je to primerno, spodbujati koristi teh politik, ki niso povezane z ogljikom.

1. Pogodbenice ugotavljajo, da so se nekatere pogodbenice odločile za prostovoljno sodelovanje pri uresničevanju svojih nacionalno določenih prispevkov, da bi lahko sprejele bolj smele ukrepe za blaženje in prilagajanje ter spodbujale trajnostni razvoj in okoljsko celovitost. 2.Pogodbenice pri prostovoljnem sodelovanju, ki vključuje uporabo mednarodno prenesenih rezultatov blaženja za uresničevanje nacionalno določenega prispevka, spodbujajo trajnostni razvoj ter zagotavljajo okoljsko celovitost in preglednost, tudi pri upravljanju, ter uporabljajo zanesljiv sistem obračunavanja, da se med drugim prepreči dvojno obračunavanje, skladno z usmeritvami Konference pogodbenic v vlogi skupščine pogodbenic sporazuma. 3. Uporaba mednarodno prenesenih rezultatov blaženja za uresničevanje nacionalno določenega prispevka po sporazumu je prostovoljna in jo morajo sodelujoče pogodbenice odobriti. 4. Vzpostavi se mehanizem za prispevek k zmanjševanju emisij toplogrednih plinov in podporo trajnostnemu razvoju, ki je podrejen Konferenci pogodbenic v vlogi skupščine pogodbenic sporazuma in deluje v skladu z njenimi usmeritvami ter ga pogodbenice uporabljajo prostovoljno. Nadzira ga delovno telo, ki ga imenuje Konferenca pogodbenic v vlogi skupščine pogodbenic sporazuma, in si prizadeva za: (a) spodbujanje zmanjševanja emisij toplogrednih plinov ob prizadevanju za trajnostni razvoj; (b) spodbujanje in omogočanje udeležbe javnih in zasebnih subjektov, ki jih odobri pogodbenica, pri zmanjševanju emisij toplogrednih plinov; (c) prispevek k zmanjšanju emisij v pogodbenici gostiteljici, kjer se izvajajo ukrepi za blaženje, namenjeni zmanjšanju emisij, ki ga za uresničevanje nacionalno določenega prispevka lahko uporabi tudi druga pogodbenica; (d) prispevek k zmanjševanju skupnih svetovnih emisij. 5. Zmanjšanje emisij na podlagi mehanizma iz četrtega odstavka tega člena se ne sme prikazati pri uresničevanju nacionalno določenega prispevka pogodbenice gostiteljice, če ga pri uresničevanju nacionalno določenega prispevka prikaže druga pogodbenica. 6. Konferenca pogodbenic v vlogi skupščine pogodbenic sporazuma zagotovi, da se delež prihodkov od dejavnosti v okviru mehanizma iz četrtega odstavka tega člena uporabi za pokritje upravnih stroškov in za pomoč pogodbenicam v razvoju, ki so posebej izpostavljene škodljivim učinkom podnebnih sprememb, pri kritju stroškov prilagajanja. 7. Pravila, delovanje in postopki mehanizma iz četrtega odstavka tega člena se določijo na prvem zasedanju Konference pogodbenic v vlogi skupščine pogodbenic sporazuma. 8. Pogodbenice priznavajo pomen celovitih, celostnih in uravnoteženih netržnih pristopov za usklajeno in učinkovito uresničevanje nacionalno določenih prispevkov v povezavi s trajnostnim razvojem in odpravo revščine, med katerimi so blaženje, prilagajanje, financiranje, prenos tehnologij in krepitev zmogljivosti. Namen teh pristopov je: (a) spodbujati čim bolj smela prizadevanja za blaženje in prilagajanje; (b) krepiti udeležbo javnega in zasebnega sektorja pri uresničevanju nacionalno določenih prispevkov; (c) omogočiti usklajevanje med različnimi instrumenti in ustreznimi institucionalnimi mehanizmi. 9. Za spodbujanje netržnih pristopov iz osmega odstavka tega člena se določi okvir za netržne pristope na področju trajnostnega razvoja.

1. Pogodbenice si zastavljajo svetovni cilj za prilagajanje, ki vključuje izboljšanje sposobnosti prilagajanja, krepitev odpornosti in zmanjšanje občutljivosti za podnebne spremembe, kar naj bi prispevalo k trajnostnemu razvoju in zagotovilo ustrezen odziv pri prilagajanju v povezavi s ciljem glede dviga temperature iz 2. člena. 2. Pogodbenice se zavedajo, da je prilagajanje izziv za ves svet in ima lokalne, podnacionalne, nacionalne, regionalne in svetovne razsežnosti ter da je bistvena sestavina dolgoročnega skupnega odziva na podnebne spremembe, h kateremu hkrati prispeva; njegov namen je zavarovati ljudi, vire preživljanja in ekosisteme, ob upoštevanju nujnih in takojšnjih potreb pogodbenic v razvoju, ki so posebno izpostavljene škodljivim učinkom podnebnih sprememb. 3. Priznajo se ukrepi za prilagajanje pogodbenic v razvoju, in sicer tako kot bo sprejeto na prvem zasedanju Konference pogodbenic v vlogi skupščine pogodbenic sporazuma. 4. Pogodbenice ugotavljajo, da so trenutne potrebe po prilagajanju občutne in da lahko intenzivnejše blaženje zmanjša potrebo po dodatnih ukrepih za prilagajanje ter da so lahko večje potrebe po prilagajanju povezane z večjimi stroški. 5. Pogodbenice se strinjajo, da naj ukrepi za prilagajanje izhajajo iz držav samih, upoštevajo vlogo spolov ter zagotavljajo čim širšo udeležbo in preglednost, pri čemer je treba upoštevati občutljive skupine, skupnosti in ekosisteme; temeljijo naj na najboljših razpoložljivih znanstvenih dognanjih in morebitnem tradicionalnem izkustvu, izročilu domorodnih ljudstev in lokalnem vedenju ter se po njih ravnajo, zato da se prilagajanje po potrebi vključi v ustrezne socialno-ekonomske in okoljske politike in ukrepe. 6. Pogodbenice priznavajo, da je treba podpirati prizadevanja in mednarodno sodelovanje na področju prilagajanja ter upoštevati potrebe pogodbenic v razvoju, zlasti tistih, ki so posebej izpostavljene škodljivim učinkom podnebnih sprememb. 7. Pogodbenice naj okrepijo sodelovanje za izboljšanje ukrepov na področju prilagajanja, ob upoštevanju Okvira za prilagajanje iz Cancuna, med drugim pri: a) izmenjavi informacij, dobrih praks, izkušenj in spoznanj, tudi v povezavi z morebitnimi znanstvenimi dognanji, načrtovanjem, politikami in izvajanjem na področju ukrepov za prilagajanje; b) krepitvi institucionalnih mehanizmov, tudi tistih po konvenciji, ki omogočajo izvajanje sporazuma, da bi zagotovili povezovanje ustreznih informacij in znanja ter tehnično podporo in usmeritve pogodbenicam; c) spodbujanju znanstvenih dognanj o podnebju, tudi raziskav, sistematičnega opazovanja podnebja in sistemov pravočasnega opozarjanja, v podporo službam, ki se ukvarjajo s podnebjem, in nosilcem odločanja; d) pomoči pogodbenicam v razvoju, da opredelijo učinkovite načine ravnanja, potrebe, prednostne naloge ter zagotovljeno in prejeto pomoč za ukrepe in dejavnosti na področju prilagajanja, izzive in pomanjkljivosti, v smeri spodbujanja dobrih praks; e) izboljšanju učinkovitosti in trajnosti ukrepov za prilagajanje. 8. Specializirane organizacije in agencije Organizacije združenih narodov se spodbujajo, da podprejo prizadevanja pogodbenic pri izvajanju ukrepov iz sedmega odstavka tega člena, ob upoštevanju določb iz petega odstavka. 9. Vsaka pogodbenica ustrezno izvaja postopke načrtovanja prilagajanja in ukrepe, skupaj s pripravo ali nadgradnjo ustreznih načrtov in politik ter povečanjem prispevkov, med drugim: a) izvajanje ukrepov, obvez in prizadevanj za prilagajanje; b) oblikovanje in izvajanje nacionalnih načrtov za prilagajanje; c) oceno izpostavljenosti podnebnim spremembam in njihovim učinkom, da se opredelijo prednostni ukrepi držav, ob upoštevanju občutljivih skupin, območij in ekosistemov; d) spremljanje in vrednotenje načrtov, politik, programov in ukrepov za prilagajanje ter pridobivanje znanja iz njih; e) krepitev odpornosti socialno-ekonomskih in okoljskih sistemov, med drugim z diverzifikacijo gospodarstva in trajnostnim gospodarjenjem z naravnimi viri. 10. Vsaka pogodbenica naj po potrebi predloži in dopolni obdobno poročilo o napredku na področju prilagajanja, ki lahko vključuje njene prednostne naloge, potrebe po izvajanju in pomoči, načrte in ukrepe, ne da bi to pomenilo dodatno breme za pogodbenice v razvoju. 11. Obdobno poročilo o napredku na področju prilagajanja iz desetega odstavka tega člena se po potrebi predloži in posodobi kot del ali dodatek drugih poročil ali dokumentov, kot so nacionalni načrt za prilagajanje, nacionalno določeni prispevek iz drugega odstavka 4. člena ali nacionalno poročilo. 12. Poročilo o napredku na področju prilagajanja iz desetega odstavka tega člena se objavi v javnem registru, ki ga vodi sekretariat. 13. Pogodbenicam v razvoju se skladno z določbami 9., 10. in 11. člena zagotovi stalna in okrepljena mednarodna pomoč za izvajanje sedmega, devetega, desetega in enajstega odstavka tega člena. 14. Svetovni pregled iz 14. člena med drugim: a) upošteva prizadevanja pogodbenic v razvoju za prilagajanje na podnebne spremembe, b) krepi izvajanje ukrepov za prilagajanje glede na poročila o napredku na področju prilagajanja iz desetega odstavka tega člena; c) preverja ustreznost in učinkovitost prilagajanja in pomoči za prilagajanje; d) preverja skupni napredek pri doseganju svetovnega cilja za prilagajanje iz prvega odstavka tega člena.

1. Pogodbenice potrjujejo pomen preprečevanja, zmanjševanja in odpravljanja izgube ali škode, povezane s škodljivimi učinki podnebnih sprememb, tudi z izrednimi vremenskimi pojavi in postopnimi procesi v naravi, ter vloge trajnostnega razvoja pri zmanjševanju tveganja nastanka izgube in škode. 2. Delovanje Varšavskega mednarodnega mehanizma za izgubo in škodo zaradi podnebnih sprememb je v pristojnosti Konference pogodbenic v vlogi skupščine pogodbenic sporazuma ter ga je mogoče dopolnjevati in krepiti skladno z odločitvami in usmeritvami, ki jih sprejme Konferenca pogodbenic v vlogi skupščine pogodbenic sporazuma. 3. Pogodbenice naj s sodelovanjem in medsebojnim spodbujanjem ustrezno okrepijo svoje razumevanje, ukrepe in pomoč glede izgube in škode zaradi škodljivih učinkov podnebnih sprememb, med drugim tudi prek varšavskega mednarodnega mehanizma. 4. Sodelovanje in medsebojno spodbujanje pri krepitvi razumevanja, ukrepov in pomoči lahko vključuje: a) sisteme pravočasnega opozarjanja, b) pripravljenost na izredne razmere, c) postopne procese v naravi, d) dogodke, ki lahko povzročijo nepovratno in trajno izgubo ali škodo, e) celovito oceno in obvladovanje tveganja, f) ukrepe za zavarovanje, skupni pristop k podnebnim tveganjem in druge rešitve v zvezi z zavarovanjem, g) negospodarsko izgubo, h) odpornost skupnosti, virov preživljanja in ekosistemov. 5. Varšavski mednarodni mehanizem sodeluje z obstoječimi telesi in strokovnimi skupinami po sporazumu ter z ustreznimi zunanjimi organizacijami in strokovnimi skupinami.

1. Razvite pogodbenice pri nadaljnjem izpolnjevanju obveznosti po konvenciji zagotavljajo finančne vire pogodbenicam v razvoju kot pomoč za blaženje in prilagajanje. 2. Druge pogodbenice se spodbujajo, da tovrstno pomoč zagotovijo ali še naprej zagotavljajo prostovoljno. 3. V okviru svetovnih prizadevanj naj razvite pogodbenice ohranijo vodilno vlogo pri pridobivanju podnebnih sredstev iz različnih virov, instrumentov in področij, upoštevaje pomen javnih sredstev, ter na različne načine, tudi s podpiranjem strategij, ki si jih zastavijo države, in ob upoštevanju potreb in prednostnih nalog pogodbenic v razvoju. Tako pridobljena finančna sredstva za boj proti podnebnim spremembam naj presegajo pretekla prizadevanja. 4.
