INFORMATION NOTICE:

As per the “Notification to Parties and Observer Organizations by UNFCCC Executive Secretary Patricia Espinosa”, available here, the UNFCCC secretariat would not hold any physical meetings in Bonn and elsewhere between 6 March and end of April 2020. This decision was in response to the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak, and the evolving situation in Germany.

The secretariat has been working with the elected officials, members and registered observers of constituted bodies and other mandated events to find suitable alternative arrangements to meetings scheduled during March and April, such as virtual meetings, or postponement.

In light of this, the Co-Chairs of the Excom decided, in consultation with members of the group, to hold a virtual meeting for its 11^th meeting (Excom 11).
