IPCC WGIII Fourth Assessment Report, Second Order Draft
appreciate that you Bert Metz, guide me to that concerning text.
You may argue that above mentioned question is not the domain of
your work. I then do not agree with you, even if you have in good
faith agreed with a limited, impact kind of assignment for your
FAR-WG3, you should have had the freedom of exploring in a
structured way the implementation and execution of no-regret
measures reducing the GHG emissions. Such an structured analyses
of no-regret measures for various grouped nations will hurt no
body. The absence of such analyses is striking, but again, I may
have overlooked that important section.
I strongly advice you to take on board a structured scheme for
implementation of different GHG emission reduction measures for
each country, or at least for grouped nations, in cooperation with all
and specifically with specific vulnerable nations. As we have done
in the nineties for the coastal countries.
At least an annotated outline on how to do, should be placed in the
FAR and be announced for the IPCC-Fifth AR-2012. In present
report you make clear how vulnerable nations can contribute to
diminish their emissions. That is the least that could be done after
18 IPCC years I assume. We have done similar exercises within
IPCC for the coast, starting in 1992, adopted by IPCC , according
to a common methodology which we had developed (IPCC, 1992:
“ Vulnerability Assessments Methodology; IPPC 1994: ………. ).
Such practical exercises can also be undertaken now as well.
Having been the Technical Secretary of the IPCC-SubGroup
Coastal Zone Management (1989-1994), I realise very well the
constraints of working within an intergovernmental organisation,
but I also realise that you in your position can make things true,
meaning that you are able to guide, to direct persons, countries in a
way that indeed sustainable development, climate change
mitigation and adaptation will be upfront in the countries policies,
through your big smile, Bert!!
