Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice (SBSTA), at its twenty-third session, agreed to continue its work on the scientific, technical and socio-economic aspects of mitigation, and to focus on exchanging information and sharing experiences and views among Parties on practical opportunities and solutions to facilitate the implementation of the Convention as mandated by decision 10/CP.9. For this purpose, the SBSTA requested the secretariat to organize workshops on specific themes at each of its next four sessions (FCCC/SBSTA/2005/10, para. 26). At the same session, the SBSTA invited Parties to submit to the secretariat, before its twentyseventh session, views on issues that were discussed at the workshops (FCCC/SBSTA/2006/5, para. 29). The secretariat has received three 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 formal editing
