Abstract
A workshop was held at Bonn from 17 to 19 March 1999 on generic issues related to the guidelines for the preparation of national communications by Parties included in Annex I to the Convention, referred to in this note as the UNFCCC guidelines (see FCCC/SB/1999/1). The workshop was separated into two working groups, one addressing guidance on greenhouse gas (GHG) inventories and the other addressing guidance on other issues (policies and measures, projections, financial resources and transfer of technology, and other issues). The participants had before them a compilation of views of Parties submitted in response to the secretariat questionnaire on clarifications, additions and amendments to the UNFCCC guidelines (FCCC/SB/1999/MISC.2). Following the discussion in the working group on other issues, participants requested the Chairman to provide a draft text of the UNFCCC guidelines in relation to non-inventory issues, taking into account the discussions of the workshop. This note includes elements for the revision of these guidelines agreed to by the working group participants. Annex I contains the Chairman’s draft text of the guidelines for the preparation of national communications by Parties included in Annex I to the Convention, part II: other issues, referred to in this note as the
UNFCCC reporting guidelines on other issues. Relevant decisions and conclusions of the Conference of the Parties (COP) and the Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice (SBSTA) related to reporting and to the UNFCCC reporting guidelines on non-inventory issues are contained in annex II
