• What have experiences been?
• What does AR4 not tell us?

• Why are the present LULUCF rules so complicated and yet the rest of agriculture is simply treated as another source category? Can inclusion be simplified?
   
• Why have countries made particular choices for elective activities under Art 3.4 of the Kyoto Protocol? Have these choices had an impact to their national policies and measures?
   
• What lessons are there from the A&R CDM experience?
   
• How can action at the subnational level be properly incentivised in the context or national commitments?  
   
• What are the lessons learned from actions (legislation, policies, etc.) undertaken by countries?

• Presentation of Co-Chair’s summary

• The excursion starts at 11h and busses will leave from Radisson SAS Saga Hotel. The tour will show sites of geological and historical interests in Iceland and it will also demonstrate some natural phenomena relating to the topics of the Dialogue. the first stop will be at a 6500 year old volcano Kerið. Then we will have lunch and experience the geysers at Haukadalur, followed by a visit to the famous waterfalls of Gullfoss. We will also visit sites of heavy soil erosion, revegation and afforestation in Þjórsárdalur, which is in the vicinity of the volcano MT. Hekla. Then we will stop at the farm Litla-Tunga to experience extensive wetland drainage and the tour will end at the headquarters of the Soil Conservation Service of Iceland, were participants will enjoy traditional dinner. Return to Reykjavík will be approximately at 23h.
