Pre-2020 pledges/ambition Sample Clauses

Pre-2020 pledges/ambition. In the Pre-COP Ministerial Meeting in October 2013, Ministers broadly shared a view that ambition of climate action is not only related to mitigation but also to adaptation and means of implementation. They highlighted the need for encouraging universal participation in pre-2020 and post-2020 climate action, recognising the link between the ambition of post-2020 action and the 2015 agreement. They agreed that the consultative phase aims at enhancing transparency and understanding of the proposed pledges. Ministers reiterated the need to identify barriers related to ambitious universal participation in the new agreement (Poland 2013).19 For the period up to 2020, the emissions gap will remain a major concern shared among Parties and therefore on the agenda mainly under the ADP Workstream 2 but also, for technical assessment, under the SBSTA (e.g. Work Programme on clarification of developed country quantified economy-wide emission targets). Acknowledging the urgent need to close the pre-2020 mitigation gap in order to stay below 2°C, the EU stressed that enhancing the global pre-2020 mitigation ambition would contribute to an ambitious 2015 international agreement (Council of the EU 2013). The Doha decision aimed at selecting and exploring in 2013 options for a range of actions that can close the pre- 2020 ambition gap with a view to identifying further activities for the ADP in 2014 to ensure the highest possible mitigation efforts (ADP 2013). Parties already identified a number of options to bridge the gap such as raising the level of ambition in national targets, implementing measures in areas with untapped but high mitigation potentials, and enhancing measures already set in place (Öko Institut 2013). This section concentrates on the scope of the existing pre-2020 18 South Africa argued that common accounting rules for developed countries must comprise (South Africa 2013a):  base year, GWP values, sectors and gases;  treatment of LULUCF and carbon credits;  associated assumptions and conditions related to the ambition of the pledges and demonstrating progress towards QELROs/ QEERTs.

  • Substitute Checks and Your Rights What is a substitute check? To make check processing faster, federal law permits banks to replace original checks with "substitute checks." These checks are similar in size to original checks with a slightly reduced image of the front and back of the original check. The front of a substitute check states: "This is a legal copy of your check. You can use it the same way you would use the original check." You may use a substitute check as proof of payment just like the original check. Some or all of the checks that you receive back from us may be substitute checks. This notice describes the rights you have when you receive substitute checks from us. The rights in this notice do not apply to original checks or to electronic debits to your account. However, you have rights under other laws with respect to those transactions. What are my rights regarding Substitute Checks? In certain cases, federal law provides a special procedure that allows you to request a refund for losses you suffer if a substitute check is posted to your account (for example, if you think that we withdrew the wrong amount from your account or that we withdrew money from your account more than once for the same check). The losses you may attempt to recover under this procedure may include the amount that was withdrawn from your account and fees that were charged as a result of the withdrawal (for example, NSF check fees). The amount of your refund under this procedure is limited to the amount of your loss or the amount of the substitute check, whichever is less. You are also entitled to interest on the amount of your refund if your account is an interest-bearing account. If your loss exceeds the amount of the substitute check, you may be able to recover additional amounts under other laws. If you use this procedure, you may receive up to $2,500 of your refund (plus interest if your account earns interest) within 10 business days after we receive your claim and the remainder of your refund (plus interest if your account earns interest) no later than 45 calendar days after we received your claim. We may reverse the refund (including any interest on the refund) if we later are able to demonstrate that the substitute check was correctly posted to your account. How do you make a claim for a refund? If you believe that you have suffered a loss relating to a substitute check that you received and that was posted to your account, please contact us. You must contact us within 40 calendar days of the date that we mailed (or otherwise delivered by a means to which you agreed) the substitute check in question or the account statement showing that the substitute check was posted to your account, whichever is later. We will extend this time period if you were not able to make a timely claim because of extraordinary circumstances. Your claim must include: • A description of why you have suffered a loss (for example, you think the amount withdrawn was incorrect); • An estimate of the amount of your loss; • An explanation of why the substitute check you received is insufficient to confirm that you suffered a loss, and • A copy of the substitute check and/or the following information to help us identify the substitute checks: the check number, the name of the person to whom you wrote the check and the amount of the check. Overdrafts and Nonsufficient Funds When we determine that you do not have enough available funds in your account to cover an Item (including an ATM or Debit Card transaction), then we consider the Item an insufficient funds item. If you have enrolled in our optional Overdraft Line of Credit Program and have enough funds in the linked account under the Overdraft Line plan, we transfer funds to cover ACH and check items. You may also establish a link from your checking account to a savings account or money market account to cover the shortfall in your checking account. Otherwise, without notice to you, we either authorize or pay the insufficient item and overdraw your account (an overdraft item) or we decline or return the insufficient item without payment (a returned item). All types of Items, including Bank fees, may overdraw your account. We pay overdrafts at our discretion, which means we do not guarantee that we will always, or ever, authorize and pay them. If we authorize or pay an item and create an overdraft, you must pay back any overdraft immediately. Each Owner will be jointly and severally liable to pay back any overdraft created by any account Owner, even if the Owner did not write the check, initiate the transaction, benefit from it or make any deposits to the account. If we overdraw your account to pay items on one or more occasions, we are not obligated to continue to paying future insufficient funds items. We may also close your account due to overdraft activity. See Closing an Account. You agree that we may apply deposits (including, but not limited to, Social Security and similar benefits) to overdrafts without notice to or consent from you, unless the law states otherwise. We may charge you a fee regardless of whether we authorize, pay or return an item. We may assess this fee for each item we authorize, pay or return. See our Schedule of Fees herein. Overdraft Protection The Bank Offers overdraft protection services that may protect your account against overdrafts in the event you do not have sufficient available funds to cover an item authorized or presented for payment. Overdraft protection may be less costly than paying overdraft or Non-sufficient return item fees. • Overdraft Protection By Linked Accounts – With this plan, you authorize the Bank to make an automatic transfer from your savings account to cover items presented for payment against non-sufficient funds to your designated checking account. These automated transfers are considered limited transfers and each transfer is counted as one of the six transfers from a savings account allowed per calendar month. A transfer occurs from your savings account to cover items presented against non-sufficient funds. Transfers are made for the exact amount to cover the shortfall in Available Funds.

The following provisions apply only to accounts established primarily for personal, family, or household purposes.
