Abstract
In its decision 17/CP.7, the Conference of the Parties (COP), requested the Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice (SBSTA) to develop definitions and modalities for including afforestation and reforestation project activities under the clean development mechanism in the first commitment period, taking into account the issues of non-permanence, additionality, leakage, uncertainties and socio-economic and environmental impacts, including impacts on biodiversity and natural ecosystems, and being guided by the principles in the preamble to decision -/CMP.1, (Land use, land-use change and forestry). It called for terms of reference for this work to be developed by the SBSTA at its sixteenth session. In this context, the COP requested the secretariat to organize a workshop with the aim of recommending terms of reference and an agenda for the work to be carried out. The COP, by the same decision, further requested Parties to submit views on the organization of the workshop, and on the terms of reference and the agenda for the work relating to paragraph 1. The deadline for the submission of this information was 1 February 2002. The secretariat has received twelve submissions, including one from Belgium on behalf of the European Community and its member States and the States of Central Group 11, and one from Samoa on behalf of the Alliance of Small Island States. In accordance with the procedure for miscellaneous documents, these submissions are reproduced in the language in which they were received and without formal editing
