important to clarify how the Convention
principles will be applied in a post-2020framework so that all parties take on
commitments; and is of the opinion that
the new market-based mechanism,
defined at COP 17, is of particular
importance in this regard and hopes that
the AWG-LCA succeeds in elaborating
modalities and procedures for this
mechanism;

Amendment 29Vittorio Prodi
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 4 a (new)
Motion for a resolution Amendment
4a. Given the lack of follow-up to the Bali
declaration on common but differentiated
responsibilities, believes that a newapproach is needed, to widen the
negotiations to include the concept of
climate justice, and in particular "one
person - one free emissions allowance";
considers further that the foundation of
this principle is the right of every present
and future human being to fair access to
sustainable use of natural resources; in
order to limit global warming to 2C,
highlights the need to decrease current
GHG emissions by 4/5, i.e. amounting to
a decrease per capita emissions to 1 tonne
per person, per year from the present 5
tonnes, meaning that every person should
be assigned that base level free of charge,
with all other emissions subject to a
global trading scheme.
