25、s to enhance their effectiveness and their contribution to sustainable development and to the ultimate objective of the Convention as set out in its Article 2.12.The AWG-KP held a round table on 2 June 2008 on the means that may be available to Annex IParties to reach their emission reduction target

26、s. The AWG-KP noted that the round table provided some useful inputs that could assist the AWG-KP in concluding its consideration of these matters at the first part of its sixth session. It took note of the summary by the Chair (see annex I) and of views and information provided by Parties during th

27、e resumed fifth session of the AWG-KP.13.The AWG-KP agreed that consideration of land use, land-use change and forestry (LULUCF)activities in the project-based mechanisms, to be addressed as part of its work on emissions trading and the project-based mechanisms, needs to be informed by outcomes from

28、 its consideration of the issue of non-permanence and other methodological issues as part of its work on LULUCF. In addition, the AWG-KP noted the work being undertaken under decision 1/CP.13 (the Bali Action Plan),paragraph 1 (b) (iii), and that this work could be an input to the further considerat

29、ion of this matter by the AWG-KP.2 The position reflected in this statement was supported by Croatia, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Serbia.3 Adopted as document FCCC/KP/AWG/2008/L.4/Rev.1.FCCC/KP/AWG/2008/3Page 514.The AWG-KP reiterated that, in the context o

30、f its ongoing work, it will also consider theimplications for the carbon market, in particular the supply of and demand for tradable units under the Kyoto Protocol, resulting from changes to the means that may be available to Annex I Parties to reach their emission reduction targets.A.
