To be most effective, the Mitigation Work Programme (MWP) could usefully aim to: 

• generate discussions that are facilitative, constructive, innovative, and catalytic 
• be inclusive and ensure a diversity of participation, including by policymakers and implementers 
• generate clear signals in support of national processes and be of practical use to domestic policymaking 
• explore, elucidate, and highlight the greatest, most cost-effective and scalable mitigation opportunities/ potential, as well as enable practical pathways to help countries implement their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and identify scope for enhanced action, including by: 
  • hosting thematic workshops 
  • sharing best practices and lessons learned, including in relation to overcoming challenges to scaling and implementing enhanced mitigation action, also encompassing a focus on non-cost barriers 
  • considering sectoral approaches 
  • effectively involving non-Party stakeholders (NPS) and the High Level Climate Champions (HLCs) and drawing on their work (e.g., Climate Action Pathways and 2030 Breakthroughs) 
  • considering a regional approach 
  • developing a menu of exemplar best practices and approaches 
• track progress against commitments made by Parties and NPS outside of formal multilateral process and explore how they might form part of NDC updates 
• address issues of equity and sustainable development 
• explore synergies with adaptation 
• take into account and be based on the latest science 
• involve external expertise, as appropriate
