Offener Brief an die Umweltminister und Delegierten der UNFCCC Parteien

The document is an open letter from civil society networks and affected citizens calling on UNFCCC delegates at COP19 to ensure that carbon markets do not undermine climate goals. It demands the prevention of the Framework for Various Approaches (FVA) pilot phase, the establishment of accounting rules to avoid double counting, and the exclusion of non-additional projects and fossil fuel financing from the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM).

• The authors call for the prevention of the pilot phase for trading carbon market units under the Framework for Various Approaches (FVA) to stop the undermining of the post-2020 climate regime.
• The letter demands the exclusion of non-additional project types, specifically large power plant projects, from the Kyoto Protocol's flexible mechanisms (CDM and JI), and the cessation of climate finance for fossil fuels and coal power plants within the CDM.
• The document advocates for international accounting regulations to prevent double counting and the implementation of human rights safeguards for projects under the CDM, Green Climate Fund, NAMAs, or future carbon markets.
