UNITED NATIONS FRAMEWORK CONVENTION ON CLIMATE CHANGE

Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice

Second session

Geneva, 27 February - 4 March 1996



ACTIVITIES IMPLEMENTED JOINTLY UNDER THE PILOT PHASE

Views from Parties on a framework for reporting

Note by the secretariat

The Conference of the Parties, at its first session, by its decision 5/CP.1,

paragraph 2, decided that a framework for reporting on activities implemented jointly under the pilot phase should be developed by the Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice (SBSTA) in coordination with the Subsidiary Body for Implementation (SBI) (FCCC/CP/1995/Add.1). The Bureau of the Conference of the Parties, at a meeting on

19 June 1995, considered that the contribution of views by Parties in writing would help to advance work on the establishment of such a framework and contribute to substantive consideration of this subject by the SBSTA and the SBI. The interim secretariat subsequently received one submission from Norway and two from the Netherlands, which were issued in document FCCC/SBSTA/1995/MISC.1 in time for the first session of the SBSTA.

The SBSTA, at its first session, decided to extend the initial deadline for submissions from 8 September 1995 to 1 November 1995 (FCCC/SBSTA/1995/3, para. 31 (a)).

Since that session, the interim secretariat has received one submission from the

United States of America and one from Germany. These submissions are attached and, in accordance with the procedure for miscellaneous documents, are reproduced in the language in which they were received and without formal editing.
