Abstract
The Conference of the Parties (COP), in decision 13/CP.1, requested the secretariat to prepare an itemized progress report on concrete measures taken by Annex II Parties with respect to the transfer of environmentally sound technology and know-how necessary to mitigate and facilitate adequate adaptation to climate change. Subsequently, in decision 7/CP.2, the COP requested the secretariat to enhance its progress reports with information from the national communications from Parties included in Annex II to the Convention, due in April 1997. The COP, at it second session, also asked the secretariat to make suggestions with regard to further improvements in the format for reporting information on the transfer of existing environmentally sound technologies and know-how from Annex II Parties. At its second session, the COP also requested the Subsidiary Body for Implementation (SBI) to evaluate and report on the transfer of technologies being undertaken between Annex II Parties and other Parties, and to do so by drawing on a roster of experts (decision 7/CP.2). In response to the above mentioned requests, this note provides a compilation and synthesis of actions taken by reporting Annex II Parties with respect to finance and transfer of technology, and describes how the reporting guidelines in this area were followed in the preparation of national communications. As a result of the data limitation described below, the secretariat has deferred compilation of comprehensive financial tables to a subsequent report. Suggestions on steps to improve reporting will be provided after additional communications are received by the secretariat
