Good summary of the work that we need to do the next two weeks, starting Monday, in Lima. I would have added how to deal with forests and landscapes as an eleventh question. This plus the legal nature of the agreement (summarized below) are what I will be following: Will the proposed 2015 climate deal be legally binding? It’s a question everyone seems to have an opinion on, but a resolution appears elusive. The US says it can’t accept any agreement that looks like an international treaty, as it will have to go through Congress, which is unlikely to ratify it, especially on current form. The position of the EU and other developing countries is that only a binding legal deal will inspire confidence in the system. Diplomats talk of parts of any agreement taking a legal nature, such as accounting, measuring and reporting emissions. But what does a “legal outcome” as stipulated in the 2011 UN climate deal in Durban really mean? - See more at: rtcc.org/2014/11/25/10-questions-for-delegates-heading-to-un-climate-talks-in-lima/#sthash.m19aio2q.dpuf
