Progress report on the work of the Consultative Group of Experts on National Communications from Parties not included in Annex I to the Convention. Revised note by the secretariat.
Abstract

The fourth meeting of the reconstituted Consultative Group of Experts on National Communications from Parties not included in Annex I to the Convention (CGE) took place in St. Mary's, Antigua and Barbuda, on 24-26 March 2011. The CGE analysed the results of the survey conducted on problems related to the sustainability of the national communication process and the maintenance of national technical teams for the preparation of national communications, including greenhouse gas inventories, on a continuous basis. In addition, it considered the background paper containing the review of its existing training materials, with a view to providing guidance on their revision, and the report on the workshop to exchange views on possible elements to be considered in a future revision of the UNFCCC "Guidelines for the preparation of national communications by Parties not included in Annex I to the Convention", taking into account the difficulties encountered by Parties not included in Annex I to the Convention (non-Annex I Parties) in the preparation of their most recent national communications, with a view to providing the Subsidiary Body for Implementation with recommendations, as appropriate. This report summarizes the outcome of the discussions of the CGE with regard to the implementation of its mandate relating to the provision of technical assistance to non-Annex I Parties for the preparation of their national communications
