Abstract

The Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice (SBSTA), at its thirty-eighth session, agreed to continue, at SBSTA 39, its consideration of issues relating to modalities and procedures for possible additional land use, land-use change and forestry (LULUCF) activities under the clean development mechanism (CDM) and modalities and procedures for alternative approaches to addressing the risk of non-permanence under the CDM, with a view to forwarding draft decisions on those matters to the Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol at its ninth session. The SBSTA invited Parties and admitted observer organizations to submit to the secretariat, by 2 September 2013, their views on specific possible additional LULUCF activities under the CDM and specific alternative approaches to addressing the risk of non-permanence under the CDM, and requested the secretariat to compile those submissions into a miscellaneous document for consideration at SBSTA 39. The secretariat has received three such submissions from two Parties. 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. In line with established practice, the submission received from an admitted observer organization has been posted on the UNFCCC website
