The Subsidiary Body for Implementation (SBI), at its sixteenth session, stressed the importance of the workshops referred to in decision 5/CP.7, paragraph 34, on insurance and risk assessment in the context of climate change and extreme weather events, and in decision 5/CP.7, paragraph 35, on insurance-related actions to address the specific needs and concerns of developing country Parties arising from the adverse effects of climate change and from the impact of the implementation of response measures. It invited Parties to submit, by 1 August 2002, their views on possible additional terms of reference for these workshops, and on the possible engagement and role of other relevant institutions in the proceedings of the workshops (see FCCC/SBI/2002/6, para. 26 (d) and (e)). The secretariat received six such submissions. In accordance with the procedure for miscellaneous documents, these submissions are attached and reproduced in the language in which they were received and without editing
