National reports submitted by non-Annex I Parties are considered different from those of Annex I
Parties.
Information from initial national communications (NCs) submitted by non-Annex I Parties were compiled
and synthesized by the secretariat upon request from the COP.
Biennial update reports (BURs) submitted by non-Annex I Parties will be subjected to international
consultation and analysis which includes two steps, (1) the technical analysis of BURs by a team of
technical experts, and (2) a facilitative sharing of views among Parties.

Compilation & Synthesis of NCs

The secretariat has conducted six rounds of the compilation and synthesis of initial NCs
between 1999 and 2005.

Convention) was produced in 2005 and is the most recent. The report contains six addendum
listed below that focus on critical sub-components to the NCs.
Addendum 1. Sustainable
development and the integration of climate change concerns
Addendum 2. Methodological
issues, activity data, emission factors, reporting tables and more
Addendum 3. Ways to abate
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and enhance removals by sinks
Addendum 4. Research projects
and systematic observation initiatives
Addendum 5. Climate change
impacts, adaptation measures, and response strategies
Addendum 6. Parties'
financial and technical needs; education, training, and public awareness

International Consultation and Analysis of BURs
(ICA)
|
The ICA process will consist of two steps, the technical analysis of the BURS submitted by
non-Annex I Parties, followed by a facilitative sharing of views.
COP 16 (decision 1.CP.16,
paragraphs 63-64) decided to conduct ICA of BURs in a manner that is non-intrusive,
non-punitive and respectful of national sovereignty. The ICA will aim to increase transparency
of mitigation actions and their effects through analysis by technical experts and a
facilitative sharing of views.
Subsequently, COP 17 established  modalities and
guidelines for ICA which outlines its scope and process. COP 19 adopted the composition,
modalities and procedures for the team of technical experts that will undertake the
analysis.
