The Doha Climate Change Conference should yield results in the following four areas:
- Making definite arrangements for the implementation and enforcement of the second commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol and ensuring that the second commitment period is implemented in a timely fashion on January 1, 2013. This will be the most important outcome of the Doha Climate Change Conference
- Making further substantial progress on the issues of concern to all developing countries, such as mitigation, adaptation, funding, technology transfer and capacity building. Developed countries, in particular, should fulfill their promises to reduce emissions and provide support in terms of funding, technology transfer and capacity building, and ensure that the alreadyestablished mechanisms and institutions start substantial work and play a substantial role in offering support to developing countries in coping with climate change
- Making proper follow-up arrangements for issues left unsettled in the Bali Action Plan, such as fairness, trade and intellectual property rights, in order to successfully complete talks on the Bali Action Plan
- Fully exchanging views on issues relating to the continued enforcement of the UNFCCC after 2020 and align the process of the Durban Platform negotiations with the Bali Road Map negotiations in order to lay a solid foundation for further negotiations
