The Conference of the Parties (COP), at its sixteenth session, invited Parties to submit to the secretariat, by 21 February 2011, their views on the composition of, and modalities and procedures for, the Adaptation Committee, including on proposed linkages with other relevant institutional arrangements. The COP requested the secretariat to compile these submissions into a miscellaneous document, to be made available by the fourteenth session of the Ad Hoc Working Group on Long-term Cooperative Action under the Convention (AWG-LCA), and also requested the AWG-LCA to elaborate the composition of, and modalities and procedures for, the Adaptation Committee, for adoption by the COP at its seventeenth session
