Chile communicated that it will implement NAMAs in order to achieve a 20 per cent reduction below the 'business as usual' emissions growth trajectory in 2020, as projected from the year 2007.

Energy efficiency, renewable energy, and land use, land-use change and forestry (LULUCF) measures will be the main focus of Chile's NAMAs.

Chile stated that, in order to accomplish its objective, it will need an appropriate level of international support and that its actions will be undertaken in accordance with the provisions of Article 12, paragraphs 1(b) and 4, and Article 4, paragraph 1, of the Convention.

Chile also stated that, in its view, although the text of the Copenhagen Accord does not fully reflect the Party's national position in terms of the characteristics that a substantive agreement to significantly reduce GHG emissions should have, and although it is not a legally binding instrument, it considers that the Accord will facilitate the negotiations towards a new universal and legally binding agreement on climate change.
