The foundation for the research dialogue was given in decision 9/CP.11 on research needs relating to the Convention, which stipulated an
enhanced communication between Parties and the scientific community, and requested the SBSTA to
regularly consider research needs and systematic observation relating the Convention. The objective
of such communication is two-fold:
- To inform Parties about on-going and planned activities of regional and international climate
change research programmes and organizations, and
- To communicate Parties' views on research needs and priorities to the scientific community.
In response to this request, the SBSTA initiated a dialogue on research needs under the Convention
between Parties and regional and international climate change research programmes and organizations.
At SBSTA 26 it was agreed to develop and maintain such dialogue in the context of decision 9/CP.11, and relevant research programmes and organizations were invited to
regularly inform the SBSTA of developments in research activities relevant to the needs of the
Convention, including: emerging scientific findings, research planning activities, research
priorities and gaps, research capacity building activities particularly in developing countries,
regional climate change research networks and relevant communication issues (see FCCC/SBSTA/2007/4, para 47(f)).
