Third Brief on NCQG simplified negotiation options

The briefing provides a comprehensive table of condensed negotiation options for the NCQG, covering its preamble, quantitative and qualitative structure, temporal scope, contributor base, and transparency arrangements. It synthesizes submissions from various Parties and groups to streamline the decision-making process for the CMA6.

• Proposed temporal scopes for the NCQG vary widely, ranging from short-term frames of 5 years (2025-2029 or 2026-2030) to long-term horizons extending to 2035, 2050, 2060, or 2070, with some options suggesting a 'ramp up period'.
• Negotiation options for the NCQG's quantitative amount include a wide spectrum of figures, from a floor of '100+ billion' to high-end estimates of '2.4 trillion' USD, with some proposals suggesting the quantum be linked to a percentage of GNI or GDP.
• The contributor base for the NCQG is a point of negotiation, with options including only 'developed countries', 'all Parties', 'high emitters', or those meeting specific economic indicators such as a purchasing power parity adjusted GNI per capita exceeding 22,000, 40,000, or 52,000 USD.
• Proposed structures for the goal include the use of thematic sub-goals for mitigation, adaptation, and loss and damage response, with specific suggestions that adaptation and loss and damage finance be 'public and grant-based'.
• To improve access to climate finance, options include the 'simplification and harmonization of approval procedures', the use of 'direct access modality', and the establishment of 'minimum allocation floors' for Least Developed Countries (LDCs) and Small Island Developing States (SIDS).
• Transparency and tracking options suggest using the Enhanced Transparency Framework (ETF) and Biennial Transparency Reports (BTRs), with some proposals calling for a 'stand-alone' or 'regular' progress report to assess collective progress.
