Background |
|
As substantive negotiations on climate change issues are expected to take place in 2011, there will be a need to provide continuous and enhanced support to the Uzbek delegation in their efforts to participate effectively in the negotiating process. The governments clearly stated their needs in this regard, and this request is firming on the way towards reaching a global legally binding climate change agreement, as they understand that if they are not able to position their countries properly under the post-2012 regime this will affect their development. For many years already UNDP is supporting the governments and in particular the negotiators, by issuance of guidance, briefings, presentations, conduction of trainings, workshops, roundtables, videoconferences and providing expertise and technical advice. In view of comprehensive legally binding global climate change agreement is to be in place (November 2012, Qatar, 18th Conference of the Parties under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change) there will be a need to identify further commitments/requirements to the countries of the region and to support them in the understanding and preparation for their fulfilment. The International Consultant on Review of Five Key Climate Change Negotiation Areas will be responsible for development of approaches aimed at enhancing knowledge and skills related to the international climate change negotiations of the national negotiation team; and development of practical recommendations on how to ensure and enable efficient participation in the climate change negotiations, which are a very comprehensive and complex process.
