The UNFCCC secretariat is preparing the fifth UNFCCC workshop on joint implementation (JI), to be held in Bonn, Germany, on 9-10 September 2008.

The workshop is intended to allow the Joint Implementation Supervisory Committee (JISC) to consider the experiences of the applicant independent entities (IEs), and other involved stakeholders, to date, in particular with regard to matters directly of concern of the JISC in its supervision of the verification procedure under the JISC (JI Track 2 procedure). The workshop programme will be elaborated taking into account inputs received from the applicant IEs, as well as the responses from stakeholders and the public to a call for public input on possible topics related to the work of the JISC (e.g. further elaboration of the guidance on criteria for baseline setting and monitoring) to be included in the discussions.

The first day of the workshop will be dedicated to interactions between the JISC and applicant IEs to discuss, based on their experiences, issues of particular interest. On the second day of the workshop some of these issues, as well as others concerning the JI Track 2 procedure, will be discussed by all participants.

Stakeholders are invited to provide inputs on possible topics related to the work of the JISC to be included in the discussions of the upcoming workshop.

Call for public input

Based on the inputs received and further considerations by the JISC, the programme of the workshop including the list of speakers and participants for the workshop will be finalised.
