Abstract
By its decision 9/CP.2, the COP requested the secretariat to conduct a review of the second national communications, applying the procedures, defined in decision 2/CP.1, which, inter alia, require the subsidiary bodies to take into consideration the in-depth review reports (IDRs). The present note summarizes the final results of these reviews, including the review process, and is intended to facilitate the consideration of the IDRs and the conduct of in-depth reviews of the third national communications to be submitted by Annex I Parties, in accordance with decision 11/CP.4, by 30 November 2001. At the time this note was prepared, the secretariat had completed the review of second national communications from Annex I Parties. This included 34 country visits and publication of the corresponding IDRs. The compilation and synthesis report on second national communications from Annex I Parties is contained in document FCCC/CP/1998/11 and Add.1-2. Interim reports and assessments of in-depth reviews of the second national communications are contained in documents FCCC/CP/1998/4 and FCCC/SBI/2000/3. The present note is based on the information contained in the second national communications and in the IDRs. It also draws upon the report of the workshop on the preparation of the third national communications from Annex I Parties held in Bonn from 28 February to 2 March 2001 (FCCC/SBI/2001/INF.4), the technical paper on comparison of greenhouse gas emission projections (FCCC/TP/2001/1) and the report on the national greenhouse gas inventory data from Annex I Parties for 1990-1999 (FCCC/SBI/2001/13). The note summarizes the experience gained during the in-depth reviews. It highlights some trends observed in the implementation of policies and measures and also briefly describes other commitments, with emphasis on new information. The note mainly refers to information on new policy initiatives launched after the second national communications were published, many in response to the adoption of the Kyoto Protocol in 1997
