Definition

"Paragraph 1 (b) (ii) of the Bali Action Plan calls for “Nationally appropriate mitigation actions’ by developing country Parties in the context of sustainable development, supported and enabled by technology, financing and capacity building, in a measurable, reportable and verifiable manner."

"In many discussions and submissions, NAMAs have been categorized as follows:

Unilateral NAMAs: mitigation actions undertaken by developing countries on their own
Supported NAMAs: mitigation actions in developing countries, supported by direct climate finance from Annex I countries (in the following called ‘directly supported NAMAs’)
Credited NAMAs: mitigation actions in developing countries, which generate credits to be sold on the carbon market (e.g. sectoral crediting).
Developing countries will effectively implement national action depends on the effective implementation of the commitments."

For a current list of countries that have submitted NAMAs please visit the following website: http://unfccc.int/home/items/5265.php
