Article 13
1. The Conference of the Parties, the supreme body of the Convention, shall serve as the meeting of the Parties to this Protocol.
It seems like words that are nonsense, but, the purpose of the Conference is exactly the same as the protocol itself. A statement like this is housekeeping to clear up confusion when parties meet. The members are important people, like President Obama and his appointed staff, that have more than one function in their lives. So, for the sake of simplicity, these type of statements are common and intended to provide a contracted nomenclature.
2. Parties to the Convention that are not Parties to this Protocol may participate as observers (without a vote or authority) in the proceedings of any session of the Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to this Protocol. When the Conference of the Parties serves as the meeting of the Parties to this Protocol, decisions under this Protocol shall be taken only by those that are Parties to this Protocol.
3. When the Conference of the Parties serves as the meeting of the Parties to this Protocol, any member of the Bureau of the Conference of the Parties (COP) representing a Party to the Convention but, at that time, not a Party to this Protocol, shall be replaced by an additional member to be elected by and from amongst the Parties to this Protocol.

4. The Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to this Protocol shall keep under regular review the implementation of this Protocol and shall make, within its mandate, the decisions necessary to promote its effective implementation. It shall perform the functions assigned to it by this Protocol and shall:
The new agreement is about pledges countries have made around the globe to bring about a sustainable Earth. That is a very big difference between the Kyoto Protocol and the new agreement in December 2015. There is only progression to success. There is no missing the mark or failing to achieve the goals of the Protocol. It is a positive step that has no limits to success.
(a) Assess, on the basis of all information made available to it in accordance with the provisions of this Protocol, the implementation of this Protocol by the Parties, the overall effects of the measures taken pursuant to this Protocol, in particular environmental, economic and social effects as well as their cumulative impacts and the extent to which progress towards the objective of the Convention is being achieved;
We have witnessed significant changes in energy sources in the USA with President Obama. That is a specific example of the sustainable economy that exists under the new values of sustainable both economic and environmental.
(b) Periodically examine the obligations of the Parties under this Protocol, giving due consideration to any reviews required by Article 4, paragraph 2 (d), and Article 7, paragraph 2, of the Convention, in the light of the objective of the Convention, the experience gained in its implementation and the evolution of scientific and technological knowledge, and in this respect consider and adopt regular reports on the implementation of this Protocol;
Obligations were too restrictive in Kyoto. Countries know how and why they can carry out successful pledges to a sustainable environment.
(c) Promote and facilitate the exchange of information on measures adopted by the Parties to address climate change and its effects, taking into account the differing circumstances, responsibilities and capabilities of the Parties and their respective commitments under this Protocol;
(d) Facilitate, at the request of two or more Parties, the coordination of measures adopted by them to address climate change and its effects, taking into account the differing circumstances, responsibilities and capabilities of the Parties and their respective commitments under this Protocol;
Negotiations between countries can provide continuity in their outcomes. Air is fluid. Water is fluid. We know in the USA though The Clean Air Act recognizes 'sources' of pollution. It is the sources that have to be the focus. Conferencing between countries is allowed, if not expected.
(e) Promote and guide, in accordance with the objective of the Convention and the provisions of this Protocol, and taking fully into account the relevant decisions by the Conference of the Parties, the development and periodic refinement of comparable methodologies for the effective implementation of this Protocol, to be agreed on by the Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to this Protocol;...
