| In the context of the Copenhagen
negotiations, developed countries are proposing (insufficient) emissions
reductions targets for the post 2012 period. At the same time, negotiations
are taking place on a range of elements of the future climate agreement
post 2012. These include the contribution of the land-use sector, mainly
forests, and the role of emissions trading. This briefing paper will discuss
potential loopholes in industrialized countries’ emissions targets, which
threaten to weaken the actual emissions reductions they should achieve.
