Within the first few minutes of plenary, COP President Witoelar presented a draft decision on an Ad Hoc Working Group on Long-term Cooperative Action under the Convention. While Portugal, on behalf of the EU, supported the text, India opposed the current language regarding national and international action, which currently calls for enhanced “measurable, reportable and verifiable nationally appropriate mitigation actions by developing country Parties in the context of sustainable development.” The plenary was suspended at the request of China and the G-77/China convened in consultations to agree on a position for the developing world on the matter.
