Transparency for enhancing climate actions – Perspectives from Africa, Asia, Europe, and LAC

The Enhanced Transparency Framework (ETF) of the Paris Agreement is a framework for countries to report on their climate actions. The ETF aims to increase transparency and accountability in climate action, and to help countries improve their climate policies and actions. Developing countries frequently face technical and institutional obstacles in building and improving their transparency frameworks to meet ETF requirements and reporting obligations. Sharing knowledge and exchanging experiences and lessons learned between countries with similar challenges can aid in the achievement of national and global climate goals.

The side-event will bring together experts from different countries to share their experiences, best practices, and insights on enhancing transparency of climate action. This exchange of knowledge will help to improve technical capacities and support the establishment of robust transparency frameworks and implementation of the ETF. Speakers will include government representatives from Tunisia, Italy, China and Cuba (TBC), as well as experts from the Institute for Environmental Protection and Research – ISPRA, the UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre, and the ICAT Secretariat.
