Parties set up an ad hoc work programme from 2022 to 2024, to be facilitated by two co-chairs, one from a developed country and one from a developing country. The co-chairs will be appointed by the CMA President for a duration of one year in consultation with the respective constituencies.
Activities under the work programme include the following:
1. Workplans
The CMA requested the co-chairs of the ad hoc work programme to develop a workplan in 2023 and 2024, taking into account submissions from Parties and non-Party stakeholders. The workplans are available at:
2. Technical expert dialogues
The CMA decided to conduct four technical expert dialogues per year as part of the ad hoc work programme, with one of these dialogues to be held in conjunction with the subsidiary bodies and one to be held in conjunction with the CMAs, and the two remaining dialogues to be organized in separate regions with a view to facilitating inclusive and balanced geographical participation.
The technical expert dialogues were organized on the basis of the submissions received from Party and non-Party stakeholder, were open to all interested Parties, academia, civil society actors, including youth, and private sector actors and had a webcast.
Please check the "events and meetings" tab for further information.
3. Annual reports
The CMA requested the co-chairs of the ad hoc work programme to prepare an annual report on the work conducted under that work programme, including a summary and key findings of the technical expert dialogues for consideration by the CMA at its 4th, 5th and 6th session, respectively. The annual reports informed deliberations at the high-level ministerial dialogues.
4. Regular consultations with Party and non-Party stakeholders
The co-chairs maintained regular consultations with the constituted bodies, in particular the Standing Committee on Finance, as well as United Nations agencies, climate finance experts, academia, private sector and civil society actors with a view to informing the ad hoc work programme. Some of these consultations can be viewed under "other NCQG related events" under the "events and meetings" tab.
