Bonn, 7 October 2013 Ruta Bubniene, Programme Officer
Mandate for reporting of NC6 and BR1 Reporting requirements: • Common tabular format for “UNFCCC biennial reporting guidelines for developed country Parties” (decision 19/CP.18) • UNFCCC biennial reporting guidelines for developed country Parties (Annex, decision 2/CP.17) • For KP Parties: Guidelines for the preparation of the information under Art. 7 of the Kyoto Protocol (Annex, decision 15/CMP.1). (The proposed approach does not affect reporting on Article 7.2 that should continue in accordance with the existing GL and annotated outline for NC5) • UNFCCC reporting guidelines on national communications (FCCC/CP/1999/7) • Submission due date 1 January 2014 for NC6 (9/CP.16) and BR1 (2/CP.17)
Provision of financial resources – partially overlapping information
Provision of financial resources – partially overlapping information
Approaches to address the review of overlapping information Three options of the structure of review report: • The technical assessment by technical content; • The technical assessment by reporting guidelines; • The technical assessment by reporting elements of the relevant guidelines grouped by technical content.
The technical assessment by reporting elements of the relevant guidelines grouped by technical content Part I. Overview: Assessment of completeness and transparency Part II. Technical assessment of the reviewed elements for BR, NC and supplementary information under the KP • GHG emissions and national circumstances • QEWER targets • PaMs • Projections and total effect of PaMs • Provision of financial, technological and capacity building support Part III. Technical assessment of the reviewed elements specific for NC only Part IV. Summary of the reviewed elements specific to KP only Part V. Conclusions and recommendations
Conclusions • BR is an elaboration of NC taking into account 10 years of experience of reporting and review; • BR requests greater level of details on QEWER target and on finance; • Essential elements (GHG, PaMs, projections, support) fully or partially overlap between NC and BR; • Submitted NC6/BR1 by one Party proofs that information in BR1 and NC6 overlaps to great extent; • Options to conduct reviews of NC6 and BR1 in conjunction and to review identical information only once should be made operational
