[Calls on each developed country Party to communicate to the secretariat its INDC on the provision of finance, technology and capacity-building support, including in particular the financial targets and road map for the period 2021–2030, as soon as possible and well in advance of COP 22 (by the first quarter of 2016 by those developed country Parties ready to do so), in a manner that facilitates the clarity, transparency and understanding of the INDCs on the provision of support;] 14. Requests the secretariat to continue to publish the INDCs communicated by Parties on the UNFCCC website[, in particular those on finance, technology and capacity-building support communicated by developed country Parties referred to in paragraph 13 above]; 15.

[Takes note of] [Welcomes] the synthesis report on the aggregate effect of INDCs, contained in document FCCC/CP/2015/7, [and notes with concern the gap between the aggregate effect of Parties' INDCs and the aggregate effect of emissions consistent with having a likely chance of holding the increase in global average temperature to below 2 °C or 1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels, as well as their adequacy in fulfilling the purpose of the Agreement and the relative fair efforts made by Parties in implementing their commitments]; 18. Requests the secretariat to update the synthesis report referred to in paragraph 17 above so as to cover the INDCs communicated by Parties by [1 October 2016] [in particular those on finance, technology and capacity-building support communicated by developed country Parties referred to in paragraph 13 above] and to make it available by [1 November 2016], [and to provide information on the fairness and ambition of the INDCs and NDMCs/NDMCCs communicated by Parties]; Option I (paragraphs 19-19quinqiues): 19.

Notes that a developing country Party may adjust its INDC when severely affected by an extreme natural event or force majeure, or when adequate finance, technology development and transfer, or capacity-building support is not available; 19ter. Decides that the level of effort represented by each Party's nationally determined commitment shall be at least equal to that communicated through its intended nationally determined commitment; 19quater.

Requests the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) to provide a special report [in 2018] [in 2019] on the impacts of global warming of 1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels and the global greenhouse gas emission pathways required to achieve the long-term temperature goal;
