Part I of the workshop included three “scene-setting” interventions on relevant MEA experiences regarding: the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES); the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs); and the Montreal Protocol. Part II included a general discussion on: the approaches to and arrangements for increasing ambition that other MEAs have employed; and the extent to which these could be replicated in the UNFCCC framework.
