Note by the secretariat

The Ad Hoc Group on Article 13, at its first session, decided to request Parties to make written submissions relating to a multilateral consultative process (FCCC/AG13/1995/2, para. 17). These, and any other issues Parties considered to be relevant to the exercise, were to be identified through a questionnaire to be circulated by the secretariat no later than 30 November 1995. The Group also requested that inputs should be submitted by 8 February 1996 to be compiled and synthesized by the secretariat. In addition, inputs from intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations were also welcomed. The compilations were to be made available during the sessions of the subsidiary bodies to be held in February/March 1996. The compilation and its synthesis will be considered by the Group at its second session in July 1996.

In accordance with that decision, the secretariat has produced the attached compilation consisting of inputs from the following intergovernmental and non-governmental bodies: Development Alternatives, Foundation for International Environmental Law, Global Climate Coalition, International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis, Hamburg Institute for Economic Research, RainForest ReGeneration Institute, Tata Energy Research Institute, University of Bradford, Verification Technology Information Centre, Woods Hole Research Center. The compilation containing inputs from Parties and non-Parties has been issued in

In accordance with the procedure for miscellaneous documents, submissions are reproduced in the language(s) in which they are received and without formal editing.
