The Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice (SBSTA), at its fortieth session requested the secretariat (FCCC/SBSTA/2014/2, paragraph 137(c)) to explore ways to facilitate a technical discussion among experts from interested Parties, prior to SBSTA 41, with the aim of facilitating the work related to the implications of the implementation of decisions 2/CMP.7 to 4/CMP.7 and 1/CMP.8 on the previous decisions on methodological issues related to the Kyoto Protocol, including those relating to Articles 5, 7 and 8 of the Kyoto Protocol. The technical discussion is foreseen to focus in particular on the status of work as of June 2014, the update of the conservativeness factors contained in appendix III to decision 20/CMP.1, and any submissions from Parties.

For this purpose, the secretariat is currently organizing the technical discussion, to be held 7 November 2014 in Bonn, Germany.

SBSTA 40 also requested the secretariat to update and extend the technical paper FCCC/TP/2013/9 prior to the workshop. This technical paper will be available in advance to the workshop.
