Ca. whereas the Adaptation Gap 2014 Report produced by UNEP highlights the enormous costs of inaction and concludes that the cost of adapting to climate change in developing countries is likely to reach two to three times the previous estimates of $70-100 billion per year by 2050, leading to a significant adaptation funding gap after 2020 unless new and additional finance for adaptation is made available;

Paragraph 3 a (new)
Paragraph 3 a (new)
3a. Warns against aiming for global emission reduction pathways that allow for significant carbon emissions in 2050 and beyond, as this would imply great risks and relying on unproven, energy intensive and costly technologies to remove and store CO2 from the atmosphere; depending on the level of the overshoot, the ability of such emissions pathways to maintain climate change below 2°C depends on the availability and widespread deployment of biomass to energy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) and afforestation without plausible land availability, as well as the use of other unknown, yet to be developed, carbon dioxide removal (CDR) technologies;

Paragraph 12
12. Considers that finance will play an essential role in finding an agreement at the Paris Conference and that it seems therefore necessary to prepare a credible ‘financial package’ covering both pre- 2020 and post-2020 periods, in order to support greater efforts for greenhouse gas reduction and adaptation to climate change impacts;

Paragraph 14 b (new)
14b. Takes note of the close links between the Financing for Development Conference, the UN Sustainable Development Goals summit and the 21st Conference of Parties of the UNFCCC in 2015; recognises that the impacts of climate change will seriously undermine attempts to achieve the planned post-2015 sustainable development framework, and that the overall development financing framework will need to be aligned with and able to support a low carbon and climate resilient world;
