This paper explores how Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs) could be designed for Least Developed Countries to be able to effectively participate, including the provision of finance.

This report, published by the United Nations Environment Program, outlines how far the current commitments and pledges of developed and developing nations can take the world in terms of achieving the 2°C limit or less, and the gap that remains between ambition and reality.

This paper shows that ambitious global greenhouse gas mitigation action in a transparent and effective international climate regime is of great importance to Least Developed Countries.

The Review to be held from 2013–2015 is a key mechanism to assess the adequacy of the long-term global goal, with a view to strengthening the goal to keep long-term increase in temperature to below 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.

This paper reviews the scientific literature on impacts for 1.5 and 2°C warming levels with focus on risks for Least Developed Countries. We summarise observed impacts in LDCs that have been related to global mean temperature and provide an overview of projected future changes.

In this paper, authors analyse integrated assessment models find how emissions would need to behave to limit warming to below 2°C.
