Dear Mountain Partnership members and friends,
With reference to the call for submissions on ecosystems, interrelated areas such as water resources and adaptation to the Nairobi Work Programme, we would like to know if you are planning to contribute to this call.
This is a good opportunity to showcase Mountain Partnership members work on CC issues and to have mountains considered included in the UNFCCC as “The submissions of Parties, NWP partner organizations and other relevant organizations will form the basis of a synthesis report on ecosystems, water resources and adaptation, which will be considered by the SBSTA in May 2017. “
If this is agreeable for you and your organization, please share your submission with us at your earliest, ideally by the 23 January (The deadline for submissions is before 25th). We will then compile all the contributions received from MP members and will submit an additional consolidated paper to the UNFCCC to reinforce our request.
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Thanks – Rosalaura

Subject: Gentle reminder: Closing on January 25 of the call for submissions on ecosystems, interrelated areas such as water resources and adaptation
Dear NWP partner,
Please kindly note that you only have one week left to respond to the call for submissions on ecosystems, interrelated areas such as water resources and adaptation under the Nairobi work programme (see below). In order to have the synthesis report based on the submissions translated in the 6 official UN languages for the next Climate Change Conference in Bonn, we will not be able to extend the call for submissions’ deadline.
Kind regards,
The NWP team

How will your submission inform the climate negotiations
during SBSTA 46?
[https://mlsvc01-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/e6079172401/7e8f8f4d-aaa2-48cd-af1a-7f18a3d74f61.jpg]The submissions of Parties, NWP partner organizations and other relevant organizations will form the basis of a synthesis report on ecosystems, water resources and adaptation, which will be considered by the SBSTA in May 2017. The synthesis report, to be prepared in collaboration with relevant NWP partner organizations, will provide key findings based on submissions and highlight good practises and lessons learned as well as relevant tools. The synthesis report will also summarize the key challenges that are barriers to adaptation actions addressing ecosystem and water resources and possible ways to address these for Parties to consider during SBSTA 46.
How can you engage on ecosystems, water resources and adaptation under the NWP beyond the submission?
