Modelling could be applied to assess consequences of response measures of developed country Parties, inter alia, on trade, investment, income, employment, economic growth rates of developing country Parties; - Development of specific reporting guidelines for Annex I Parties on how those Parties are implementing policies and measures in such a way as to minimize adverse effects on developing country Parties; - Provision of specific support by developed country Parties to developing country Parties in terms of transfer of technology, financial resources and capacity building, in order for the latter to be able to deal with the adverse economic and social effects of response measures; Proposal by the United States of America The Conference of the Parties, Recalling decisions 1/CP.13, 1/CP.16, 2/CP.17, and 8/CP.17, Acknowledging Parties’ repeated calls for a continued and structured exchange of information on both the positive and negative consequences of response measures and on ways to maximize the positive and minimize the negative consequences for Parties, Welcoming the informative presentations provided in the forum by outside experts, intergovernmental organizations, and civil society, Recognizing the need to devote a greater proportion of future discussions on this issue on expert input, including expert provision of concrete examples, case studies, and innovative practices, which would be of greatest significance to Parties’ efforts to maximize the positive and minimize the negative impacts of the implementation of response measures, Noting the lack of private sector participation in the forum to date, Encouraging future discussions on the positive and negative impacts of the implementation of response measures to include presentations and information from experts from the private sector, particularly fields related to low carbon development, Noting the valuable contribution of the forum in sharing information and expertise, including in the areas of economic diversification, assessment, health, labor markets, technological transition, low emissions development, poverty eradication, and energy security, Noting that there have been areas of convergence and divergence in forum discussions about the positive and negative impacts of the implementation of response measures, Further noting that future work will need to focus on areas of convergence in order to maximize the benefit of the forum to all Parties, 1. (...) Acknowledges that consolidating discussions related to the positive and negative impacts of response measures in a single session, once a year, will provide an opportunity to focus the attention of Parties, stakeholders, and experts on the areas of the work programme, thereby strengthening the capacity of countries to maximize the positive and minimize the negative impacts of the implementation of response measures to climate change; 9.

First sentence Option 1: The AWG-KP underlined the need for Annex I Parties to design policies and measures carefully, in order to minimize the negative potential consequences of mitigation actions as well as to [maximize][consider] positive potential consequences, taking into account possible interactions between different policies and measures. (...) Option 3: The AWG-KP underlined that Annex I Parties should [strive to] design policies and measures carefully, in order to [strive to] minimize negative potential consequences of mitigation actions as well as to maximize positive potential consequences, taking into account possible interactions between different policies and measures. (...) The AWG-KP also emphasized that these policies and measures should also maximize positive potential consequences. Option 5: The AWG-KP underlined that there are both positive and negative consequences, and that Annex I Parties should strive to minimize negative consequences of design of policies and measures.

The AWG-KP also emphasized that these policies and measures may also serve to maximize positive potential consequences. [The AWG-KP underlined the need to take into account possible interactions between different policies and measures.] 11. Option 1: [The AWG-KP emphasized that non-Annex I Parties should strive to strengthen their institutional capacity and regulatory framework in order to minimize the negative potential consequences and maximize potential consequences of mitigation actions by Parties.] Option 2: [The AWG-KP emphasized that Annex I Parties should support non-Annex I Parties in striving to strengthen their institutional capacity and regulatory framework in order to minimize the negative potential consequences and maximize potential consequences of mitigation actions by Parties.] 12.
