On Friday, 8 April, an AWG-KP contact group on Further Commitments for Annex I Parties met to continue discussions on whether to proceed with either political or technical issues first. The AWG-LCA informal drafting group continued their discussions throughout the morning and afternoon to resolve the impasse on the AWG-LCA agenda.
In the afternoon, an AWG-KP Stocktaking Plenary was convened and parties were invited to address political issues and the way to proceed. While disagreement persists on whether to address political or technical issues first, the utility of further discussions in a contact group of the whole was recognized. The Stocktaking Plenary adjourned at 5:06 pm. AWG-KP 16 will reconvene in Bonn, Germany, in June.
In the evening, an AWG-LCA Stocktaking Plenary convened and, following the successful conclusion of the AWG-LCA informal drafting group, the AWG-LCA adopted an agenda (FCCC/AWGLCA/2011/L.1) at 8:06 pm. Following closing statements by parties, the AWG-LCA Stocktaking Plenary adjourned at 9:34 pm. The fourteenth session of the AWG-LCA will resume in Bonn, Germany, in June.
