UNFCCC Co-chairs Ahmed Doghlaf and Daniel Reifsnyder have released a consolidated version of the formal “Geneva” negotiating text to help governments in the negotiations toward the COP21 in Paris.

As the UNFCCC explains, this document covers the major themes of the new agreement including mitigation, adaptation, finance, technology, capacity buiding, and trasnparency of action and support. The new document serves to clarify and define the possible final outcome of the international climate agreement in Paris, while including all the options put forward by the Parties to the UNFCCC in the formal Geneva text.
