The Subsidiary Body for Implementation (SBI) is invited to consider this issue and recommend a draft decision for adoption by the COP MOP.

This note describes an initiative to make sessions of the Conference of the Parties (COP) and of the subsidiary bodies climate neutral.

The COP MOP may wish to refer the consideration of the information contained in this report to the Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice and provide guidance, as necessary, to the secretariat concerning the fulfilment of its functions as the ITL administrator.

Participants at the workshop exchanged views and experiences on a range of activities relating to these technologies including concepts needs for, and identification and evaluation of, technologies for adaptation and lessons learned.

The SBSTA may wish to endorse the proposed technical guidance and forward a draft decision for adoption by the Conference of the Parties at its eleventh session, recommending a decision for adoption by the COP MOP at its first session.

The Subsidiary Body for Implementation is invited to recommend, for adoption by the COP at its eleventh session, a draft decision proposing the continuation of the current arrangements and inviting the Secretary General of the United Nations to seek the endorsement of this continuation by the General Assembly until a review is deemed necessary by either the Parties or the General Assembly.

The numbering of decisions will be added in the final report of the COP MOP.

The document also responds to the mandate given by the Conference of the Parties in decision 4 CP.10, and provides an overview of how the LEG has implemented its programme of work as mandated by decision 9 CP.7.

Nevertheless, a key component must have priority reducing the effects of and adjusting to climate change.

Other Working Group activities include collaboration with the Least Developed Countries Expert Group of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change to assist the poorest developing countries in accessing disaster reduction best practices for adaptation to climate change.

Status of the preparation of Consultative Group of Experts reports The thematic groups of the CGE (GHG inventories, V and A assessments, mitigation and cross cutting issues) are finalizing their report on the examination of the initial national communications of non Annex I Parties.

For many Parties, climate change would reduce land cover, displace change ecosystems and species composition, and lead to loss of biodiversity.

After describing previous work on technologies for adaptation to climate change, he said that defining these technologies is difficult, and suggested that an operational definition might be the application of technology in order to reduce the vulnerability, or enhance the resilience, of a natural or human system to the impacts of climate change .
