Abstract

An expert meeting on an information hub for information on results of the activities referred to in decision 1/CP.16, paragraph 70, and results-based payments was held in Bonn, Germany, on 2 and 3 September 2014. Party representatives gave presentations, describing their experience with the set-up of national information portals related to the activities referred to in decision 1/CP.16, paragraph 70, and making proposals regarding the information hub. The presentations that followed, made by experts from intergovernmental organizations and the REDD+ Partnership, focused on sharing experiences with data reporting and portal management at the international level and presenting potential options for the design of the information hub. In plenary discussions, experts engaged in a detailed technical consideration related to the design and functionalities of the information hub, ways to enter information in the information hub and options related to entries of corresponding results-based payments. Experts concluded that the information hub should be flexible enough to evolve in case Parties want to revisit some options or functions after gaining more experience with the implementation of results-based actions related to the activities referred to in decision 1/CP.16, paragraph 70. The Subsidiary Body for Implementation may wish to take note of the outcome of these discussions at its forty-first session.
