@ Bali: IMERS & IATAL - Emissions and Adaptation Financing

We held an official side event at the UNFCCC COP 13

meeting in Bali on:

Bunker Fuel Emissions and Adaptation Funding

The invitation has been accepted by around 70 people, including a significant number of government representatives.
The presentation from the event is available for download (0.9 MB).

Two main proposals were discussed in details:

• IATAL (0.7 MB), an International Air Travel Adaptation Levy
  
• IMERS (0.1 MB), see the special 2-page IMERS synopsis prepared for Bali
  

The goal was twofold:

• Increasing momentum and furthering our scheme for international maritime emissions
  
• Simultaneously reducing the gap in financing for adaptation
  

Our proposals have already received significant multilateral support and can be operational BEFORE 2012.

The event has been recognized and reported by the Earth Negotiations Bulletin. The reports from the selected events held on 05 Dec are available:
