Abstract
The Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice (SBSTA), at its eighth session, requested the secretariat "to explore the possibility of establishing a United Nations Climate Change Day to promote awareness of climate change issues at the national and international levels" (FCCC/SBSTA/1998/6, para. 37 (h)). At its fourteenth and subsequent sessions, the SBSTA also requested the secretariat to provide information on options concerning the designation of such a day (FCCC/SBSTA/2001/2, para. 27 (e)), on the procedures for designating it and on the resource requirements for its implementation (FCCC/SBSTA/2001/8, para. 45 (i)) based on further consultations with relevant international organizations (FCCC/SBSTA/2002/6, para. 55 (e)). In response to this request, this note presents possible alternative approaches for designating a climate change day, provides information on the related procedures and resource requirements, and raises issues for consideration
