1. International Action Plan Follow Up New York May 04, 2006

2. Mandate and Preparation • The conveners of renewables 2004 (the German Federal Ministries BMU and BMZ) invited REN21, to co-ordinate the follow-up and carry out the reporting on the implementation of IAP Actions. • IAP Follow Up activity was adopted by REN21 SC meeting in Beijing November 2005.

3. 3. Disclosure and Publication Policy • REN21 Secretariat is making the (edited) reports received available on-line continuously on the website www.ren21.net • Secretariat has prepared a first Interim Report in print for the occasion of the 14th Session of the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development (CSD), 1-12 May 2006, in New York (first distributed to SC members) • Updated on-line Interim Report to be prepared for June 2006, two years after renewables 2004

4. 4. Status of Reporting April 27, 2006. Response Rate • Continued effort in reminding is successful • Sent first contact in early March. By 27 April 2006, Partners for 83 Actions had responded, bringing the response rate to 42 percent. • Should guarantee that by June 2006, two years after the Bonn conference, significantly more than half of the Actions will be reported on. • Will consider further steps to increase effectiveness of this process

5. 4. Status of Reporting April 27, 2006. Structure of response: • Most regions of origin (of the leading Partner) and target (where the Action is implemented) are represented in the current sample, except North America, from where reports have been announced • All categories of actor types, i.e. governments (including regional and local governments), international organisations (including international financial institutions), non-governmental organisations, research bodies, and the private sector have shown strong participation in this reporting initiative. • Responses are also relatively evenly distributed among the different types of Actions. • All categories have been covered, though unevenly. The sample of responses received can be considered fairly representative for all of the Actions put forward in the IAP.
