Abstract
At its sixth session, the Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice (SBSTA) noted, and strongly supported, the work undertaken by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) on the Handbook on Methods for Climate Change Impacts Assessment and Adaptation Strategies and the UNEP Collaborating Centre on Environment and Energy at Riso, (UCCEE), Denmark, on assessing mitigation measures and policies. The SBSTA invited these organizations to continue to provide information on their activities to the SBSTA (FCCC/SBSTA/1997/6). These activities are included in the programme of work on methodologies (FCCC/SB/1997/INF.2). In addition, by its decision 9/CP.3 (FCCC/CP/1997/7/Add.1), the Conference of the Parties (COP) requested the Convention secretariat to continue its work on methodologies for adaptation technologies, in particular that concerning decision tools to evaluate alternative adaptation strategies. This note provides information on how UNEP, in collaboration with the Free University of Amsterdam, and UCCEE have responded to the above mandates. This note also provides information on an informal report, Decision Tools to Evaluate Alternative Adaptation Strategies, compiled by the secretariat with the assistance of Stratus Consulting Incorporated
