Synthesis report on regional workshops on Article 6 of the Convention. Note by the secretariat.
Since the adoption of the five-year New Delhi work programme on Article 6 of the Convention (decision 11/CP.8), four regional workshops have been organized to share experiences and further develop and implement climate change education and outreach activities. This document provides a synthesis of lessons learned and opportunities that have been discussed in these forums, and sets down possible elements of a new strategic approach that emerged from the workshops and that would reinforce the current framework offered by New Delhi work programme. In 2007, the comprehensive review of the New Delhi work programme will take place, and Parties will reflect on how best to foster the implementation of climate change education and outreach activities at the national and regional levels. This documents outlines possible improvements to the information network clearing house (CC:iNet) based on submissions from Parties and discusses possible steps towards the comprehensive review. The Subsidiary Body for Implementation may wish to take note of the findings of the analysis and key issues identified in this document and invite Parties to consider and further review the proposed approach in the framework of the review of the New Delhi work programme
