设在维也纳国际中心的各个组织承担将工作人员转移到临时办公场地和搬回的费用。
The organizations based at the Vienna International Centre bear the cost of moving staff to and from the temporary office facilities.
工发组织的房舍管理处利用拆除石棉的机会制定、启动和执行一些大型项目，例如更新电缆布线和调换窗户及地毯，以求提高成本效益。
The opportunity provided by the asbestos removal work was used by the UNIDO Buildings Management Service to develop, initiate and implement major projects, such as the upgrading of cabling and replacing of windows and carpets, in a more cost-effective way.
这些项目，如果单独进行的话，费用将惊人地高。
Those projects, if undertaken independently, would be prohibitively expensive, and therefore the organizations are jointly committed to taking advantage of this opportunity.
因此，这些组织一起答应利用这个机会。

Budget performance for the biennium 2006-2007 as at 30 June 2007 Note by the secretariat Contents Paragraphs Page Introduction 1-4 Annex Projects and events funded from the Trust Fund for Supplementary Activities in the biennium 2006-2007 26 Introduction Mandate The Conference of the Parties (COP) and the Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol (CMP), by their decisions 12/CP.11 and 34/CMP.1, approved the programme budget for the biennium 2006-2007, and requested the Executive Secretary to report to the COP on income and budget performance and to propose any adjustments that might be needed in the budget.
It is the practice of the Subsidiary Body for Implementation (SBI) to consider these matters and prepare recommendations for action by the COP and the CMP.
Scope of the note This document reports income, expenditure and programme delivery and performance under all sources of funds as at 30 June 2007.
It should be read in conjunction with document FCCC/SBI/2007/INF.11, which updates the information on status of contributions as at 15 November 2007.
Possible action by the Subsidiary Body for Implementation The SBI may wish to take note of the information presented, particularly the results achieved, the contributions made and the need for Parties to pay their contributions, and decide on actions that may need to be included in draft decisions on administrative and financial matters to be recommended for adoption by the COP at its thirteenth session, and the CMP at its third session.
Income and expenditure report Trust Fund for the Core Budget of the UNFCCC Budget The COP, by its decision 12/CP.11, and the CMP, by its decision 34/CMP.1, approved a total budget of USD 53.5 million for the biennium 2006-2007 (see table 1).
Table 1.
Programme budget for the biennium 2006-2007 Income The approved budget is expected to be funded from indicative contributions by all Parties, the annual contribution of the Host Government and the unspent balance of previous financial periods.
Table 2 shows a list of sources of the expected income.
Table 2.
Expected income for the biennium 2006-2007 By 30 June 2007, USD 38.2 million or 77.3 per cent of the total indicative contribution expected for the biennium had been received; this includes USD 1.9 million received as advances in previous bienniums.
The voluntary contribution from the Host Government has also been received in full.
This income is supplemented by receipt of contributions for previous years as shown in table 3.
Table 3.
Actual income as at 30 June 2007 (United States dollars) Contributions from three of the top 10, or six of the top 20, contributors to the Convention for 2007 had not been received by 30 June 2007.
Of the 191 Parties to the Convention, 100 had not made their contributions for 2007.
The status of outstanding contributions is shown in table 4.
Table 4.
Outstanding contributions to the Convention by year as at 30 June 2007 (United States dollars) Contributions from three of the top 10, or six of the top 20, contributors to the Kyoto Protocol for 2007 had not been received by 30 June 2007 (see table 5).
Of the 175 Parties to the Kyoto Protocol, 99 had not made their contributions for 2007.
Table 5.
Outstanding contributions to the Kyoto Protocol by year as at 30 June 2007 (United States dollars) Expenditures Expenditures as at 30 June 2007 amounted to USD 34.4 million excluding programme support costs or 73.2 per cent of the approved budget for programme activities for the year 2007.
Expenditures by cluster Table 6 (a) provides a comparison of budget appropriation for the biennium 2006-2007 and expenditures for the first 18 months, by cluster.
The secretariat is currently showing a budget implementation rate of 73 per cent, which is just below the ideal implementation rate of 75 per cent at this point in the biennium.
Table 6 (a).
Expenditures by cluster as at 30 June 2007 Table 6 (b) shows expenditures divided into six categories. `Staff costs' include salaries and common staff costs of staff members appointed to approved posts, salaries of short-term staff, temporary assistance and overtime.
Other external expertise, both individual and institutional, is included under `consultants'.
Travel of staff on official missions is shown separately from travel of experts to workshops and informal consultations. `General operating expenses' include payments to suppliers of various goods and services. `Grants and contributions' are payments to the United Nations Common Services Unit in Bonn for premises management, which provides logistical and administrative services to the secretariat, and the annual contribution to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
During the 18-month period, the secretariat used consultants to bridge the recruitment period for approved posts, which is currently showing a post occupancy rate of 84 per cent.
It is expected that expenditures on consultants will stabilize and staff costs will increase significantly as posts continue to be filled permanently.
The costs for general operating expenses include the purchase of records management system licences and support services, which were originally planned for 2008 but were purchased this year as a result of the budget negotiations at the twenty-sixth session of the SBI in May 2007.
The expenditure rate of grants and contributions is also slightly higher than the ideal percentage as it includes the obligation for premises management for the period 1 July 2007 to 31 December 2007 and the annual grant to the IPCC.

It is the practice of the Subsidiary Body for Implementation (SBI) to consider these matters and prepare recommendations for action by the COP and the CMP.
Scope of the note This document reports income, expenditure and programme delivery and performance under all sources of funds as at 30 June 2007.
It should be read in conjunction with document FCCC/SBI/2007/INF.11, which updates the information on status of contributions as at 15 November 2007.
Possible action by the Subsidiary Body for Implementation The SBI may wish to take note of the information presented, particularly the results achieved, the contributions made and the need for Parties to pay their contributions, and decide on actions that may need to be included in draft decisions on administrative and financial matters to be recommended for adoption by the COP at its thirteenth session, and the CMP at its third session.
Income and expenditure report Trust Fund for the Core Budget of the UNFCCC Budget The COP, by its decision 12/CP.11, and the CMP, by its decision 34/CMP.1, approved a total budget of USD 53.5 million for the biennium 2006-2007 (see table 1).
Table 1.

Table 2 shows a list of sources of the expected income.
Table 2.
Expected income for the biennium 2006-2007 By 30 June 2007, USD 38.2 million or 77.3 per cent of the total indicative contribution expected for the biennium had been received; this includes USD 1.9 million received as advances in previous bienniums.
The voluntary contribution from the Host Government has also been received in full.
This income is supplemented by receipt of contributions for previous years as shown in table 3.

Of the 175 Parties to the Kyoto Protocol, 99 had not made their contributions for 2007.
Table 5.
Outstanding contributions to the Kyoto Protocol by year as at 30 June 2007 (United States dollars) Expenditures Expenditures as at 30 June 2007 amounted to USD 34.4 million excluding programme support costs or 73.2 per cent of the approved budget for programme activities for the year 2007.
Expenditures by cluster Table 6 (a) provides a comparison of budget appropriation for the biennium 2006-2007 and expenditures for the first 18 months, by cluster.
The secretariat is currently showing a budget implementation rate of 73 per cent, which is just below the ideal implementation rate of 75 per cent at this point in the biennium.
Table 6 (a).
Expenditures by cluster as at 30 June 2007 Table 6 (b) shows expenditures divided into six categories. `Staff costs' include salaries and common staff costs of staff members appointed to approved posts, salaries of short-term staff, temporary assistance and overtime.
Other external expertise, both individual and institutional, is included under `consultants'.
Travel of staff on official missions is shown separately from travel of experts to workshops and informal consultations. `General operating expenses' include payments to suppliers of various goods and services. `Grants and contributions' are payments to the United Nations Common Services Unit in Bonn for premises management, which provides logistical and administrative services to the secretariat, and the annual contribution to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
During the 18-month period, the secretariat used consultants to bridge the recruitment period for approved posts, which is currently showing a post occupancy rate of 84 per cent.
It is expected that expenditures on consultants will stabilize and staff costs will increase significantly as posts continue to be filled permanently.
The costs for general operating expenses include the purchase of records management system licences and support services, which were originally planned for 2008 but were purchased this year as a result of the budget negotiations at the twenty-sixth session of the SBI in May 2007.
The expenditure rate of grants and contributions is also slightly higher than the ideal percentage as it includes the obligation for premises management for the period 1 July 2007 to 31 December 2007 and the annual grant to the IPCC.

The secretariat is currently showing a budget implementation rate of 73 per cent, which is just below the ideal implementation rate of 75 per cent at this point in the biennium.
Table 6 (a).
Expenditures by cluster as at 30 June 2007 Table 6 (b) shows expenditures divided into six categories. `Staff costs' include salaries and common staff costs of staff members appointed to approved posts, salaries of short-term staff, temporary assistance and overtime.
Other external expertise, both individual and institutional, is included under `consultants'.
Travel of staff on official missions is shown separately from travel of experts to workshops and informal consultations. `General operating expenses' include payments to suppliers of various goods and services. `Grants and contributions' are payments to the United Nations Common Services Unit in Bonn for premises management, which provides logistical and administrative services to the secretariat, and the annual contribution to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
During the 18-month period, the secretariat used consultants to bridge the recruitment period for approved posts, which is currently showing a post occupancy rate of 84 per cent.
It is expected that expenditures on consultants will stabilize and staff costs will increase significantly as posts continue to be filled permanently.
The costs for general operating expenses include the purchase of records management system licences and support services, which were originally planned for 2008 but were purchased this year as a result of the budget negotiations at the twenty-sixth session of the SBI in May 2007.
The expenditure rate of grants and contributions is also slightly higher than the ideal percentage as it includes the obligation for premises management for the period 1 July 2007 to 31 December 2007 and the annual grant to the IPCC.
