FCCC/SBI/2007/7

Ways to improve the reporting of projects identified in national communications from Parties not included in Annex I to the Convention. Note by the Chair of the Consultative Group of Experts on National Communications from Parties not included in Annex I to the Convention.

The Subsidiary Body for Implementation (SBI), at its twenty-third session, requested the Consultative Group of Experts on National Communications from Parties not included in Annex I to the Convention to make recommendations on ways to improve the reporting of projects identified in national communications from Parties not included in Annex I to the Convention (non-Annex I Parties) in accordance with Article 12, paragraph 4, of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change; to report on ways to improve access to financial and technical support for such projects; and to advise the SBI of this matter at its twenty-sixth session. This document has been prepared in response to that request. It addresses three issues: first, it examines what types of information are required by potential funders in order to make a decision on a project; second, it looks at what types of information are generally provided in national communications from non-Annex I Parties; and third, it asks what are the principal improvements that can be made to meet the information needs of the funding agencies.
