Meeting papers

  • TFEIP Workplan: We need to support several Air Convention activities that are related to revising the Gothenburg Protocol. In addition, we need to continue with our longer-term development of the science. There are some tasks that the TFEIP Co-Chairs can manage, but several where we will need contributions from the TFEIP community.

  • Guidebook Update Plan: This paper proposes the timelines of the various tasks that we need to undertake to ensure that we can publish the updated Guidebook in 2027. We will discuss this paper at the TFEIP meeting, but one of the primary aims of this paper is to make the work much more transparent, so that more people are able to make contributions.

  • Reporting Adjustments in Projections’ Submissions: At our 2023 meeting, we agreed to support this addition to projections reporting. The Convention Secretariat have asked us to provide detailed information on the amendments to guidance documents and templates that would be required to support this revision. This paper presents our proposed response to this request.
