Continuation of an activity series in support of the review of the Doha work programme on Article 6 of the Convention, building on the first activity series and discussions during the May–June sessional period.

Context:
The COP requested the SBI, at its 52nd session, to launch the review of the implementation of the Doha work programme on Article 6 of the Convention (hereafter referred to as the review), and to consider future work to enhance the implementation of Article 6 of the Convention and Article 12 of the Paris Agreement, following the review, and to prepare a draft decision for consideration and adoption at COP26.

Through the ACE activity series, organized from March to May 2021, and the May–June session of the SBI, Parties have engaged in extensive discussions on the review and future work to enhance the implementation of Action for Climate Empowerment (ACE). The progress made is captured in the informal co-facilitators' note. Having taken note of the willingness of Parties and observers to continue informal discussions on ACE, the SBI Chair is organizing a series of further workshops under the 2021 ACE activity series.

Objective:
The objective of this continued activity series is to enable a technical discussion by Parties and observers under the guidance of the SBI Chair on the review of the Doha work programme and future work to enhance the implementation of ACE under Article 6 of the Convention and Article 12 of the Paris Agreement.

Description:
These workshops are intended to raise awareness and provide opportunities for specific content elements to be discussed in more detail to support focused discussions in the upcoming session.

Workshops will be open to Parties and observers.
