The Consultative Group of Experts (CGE) on National Communications from non-Annex I Parties and the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change secretariat (UNFCCC) are organising the second of two workshops on the improvement of the process of the preparation of national communications of non-Annex I Parties in accordance with decision 31/CP.7.

The aim of the workshop is to assist the CGE in completing its work on problems and constraints of non-Annex I Parties that have yet to submit their initial national communications and on the status of support programmes and activities that facilitate the preparation of national communications or any of its elements. Countries that have not yet presented information on the technical problems and constraints they are facing in the preparation of their initial national communications will be invited to do so at this workshop. Representatives of multilateral agencies and bilateral assistance programmes that support the implementation of the Convention and, in particular, for the preparation of national communications will be invited to make presentations on their activities/programmes in accordance with a framework that will be provided by the CGE. Presentations will also be made by experts on how to overcome some of the constraints that were already identified.
