Abstract
The Conference of the Parties, by its decision 8/CP.4, requested the secretariat to prepare a report on “best practices” in policies and measures for consideration by the Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice (SBSTA) at its eleventh session, based on Annex I Party national communications and their reviews and on additional information submitted by Parties by 15 August 1999, as well as any other relevant information, with a view to strengthening the sharing of experience and exchange of information. It also requested the secretariat to organize a workshop to assess “best practices” in policies and measures on the basis of the conclusions of the SBSTA, at its eleventh session, and to report the results to the Conference of the Parties at its sixth session (FCCC/CP/1998/16/Add.1, decision 8/CP.4, annex II). The Government of Denmark has kindly offered to host this workshop in Copenhagen from 11 to 13 April 2000. This document has been prepared in response to the previous mentioned request. It considers information contained in Parties’ submissions, second national communications and in-depth review reports in relation to “best practices” in policies and measures. It also presents possible approaches to assessing “best practices” in policies and measures and suggests issues for consideration at the workshop. Document FCCC/SBSTA/1999/MISC.10 contains submissions from Parties related to “best practices” in policies and measures
