The Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice, at its twenty-fourth session, noted that further work would be required on scientific and methodological aspects of the proposal by Brazil, for example, to further quantify and reduce uncertainties, to address gaps in knowledge, and to further improve the methodology, for instance by considering finer resolution of sources and longer timescales (FCCC/SBSTA/2006/5, para. 80). The SBSTA invited Parties to submit to the secretariat, by 7 March 2008, their views on the results of work undertaken by Parties, research institutions and scientists as presented at the special side event organized during SBSTA 27 ; this work is also reported in document FCCC/SBSTA/2008/MISC.1. It requested the secretariat to compile these submissions into a miscellaneous document (FCCC/SBSTA/2006/5, para. 83). The secretariat has received five such submissions. In accordance with the procedure for miscellaneous documents, these submissions are attached and reproduced in the language in which they
