Further, the consultations could consider studies prepared by independent international organisations or institutes, in addition to information provided by country governments. The international consultations process could also catalyse national consultation processes in different countries, which in turn could help to broaden the participation of domestic stakeholders in the development of mitigation commitments. Therefore a new, separate process for international consultations on post-2020 commitments is likely to be needed. If a consultation process were to be undertaken for all countries, this would have significant implications in terms of time and resources.
