The Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol, by its decision 1/CMP.2, requested Parties, intergovernmental organizations and non-governmental organizations to submit to the secretariat, by 23 February 2007, their views on the implications of possibly changing the limit established for small-scale afforestation and reforestation (A/R) project activities, under the clean development mechanism, for consideration by the Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice (SBSTA) at its twenty-sixth session. The SBSTA, at its twenty-sixth session, took note of the submissions referred to previously and requested Parties, intergovernmental organizations and non-governmental organizations to submit to the secretariat, by 21 September 2007, their views on the implications of a possible change to the limit established under decision 5/CMP.1 for small-scale A/R project activities (FCCC/SBSTA/2007/4, paras. 77–79), based, inter alia, on national experiences, to include social, economic and environmental effects, including estimation of leakage, and requested the secretariat to compile these views for consideration by the SBSTA at its twenty-seventh session. The secretariat has received three such submissions. Two of these are from Parties, and one is from an intergovernmental organization. In accordance with the procedure for miscellaneous documents, these submissions are attached and reproduced in the languages in which they were received and without formal editing
