The document provides a detailed review of the COP-14 proceedings in Poznań, Poland, focusing on the progress of two key working groups: the Ad Hoc Working Group on Long-term Cooperative Action (AWG-LCA) and the Ad Hoc Working Group on Further Commitments for Annex I Parties (AWG-KP). While the conference succeeded in establishing a timeline for full negotiations in 2009 and operationalizing the Adaptation Fund, it failed to reach significant breakthroughs on global emission targets or the second review of the Kyoto Protocol. The report highlights the critical role of the United States and China in the upcoming Copenhagen negotiations and details specific technical discussions on REDD, the Clean Development Mechanism, and technology transfer.

  • The COP-14 in Poznań served as a midpoint for the Bali Action Plan, successfully establishing an ambitious 2009 calendar and agreeing to transition to a mode of full negotiation, although few other significant breakthroughs were achieved.
  • The Adaptation Fund was operationalized with a governance structure that allows developing countries to access funding via implementing entities, nationally accredited entities, or direct access, though it remains underfunded by relying solely on a 2% levy from Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) credit sales.
  • Regarding post-2012 commitments for developed nations, the AWG-KP agreed that new targets should primarily take the form of Quantified Emission Limitation and Reduction Objectives (QELROs) and referenced a target range of 25% to 40% below 1990 levels by 2020.
  • Negotiations for the second review of the Kyoto Protocol under Article 9 failed to produce a concrete document due to disagreements over revenue sharing, privileges and immunities, and Annex B commitment procedures.
  • The COP adopted the Poznań Strategic Programme on Technology Transfer, which tasks the Global Environment Facility (GEF) with increasing investments in environmentally sound technologies for developing countries.
  • Progress on REDD focused on methodological consensus for 2009, including the use of IPCC Guidelines, but remained divided over the inclusion of forest conservation and the rights of indigenous peoples.
  • The success of the 2009 Copenhagen negotiations is heavily dependent on the positions of the United States and China, with the U.S. potentially integrating into the AWG-KP under the Obama administration.
