(UN Climate Change News, Bonn, 2 March 2023) Under the Paris Agreement, new universal reporting requirements aim to show how all countries (both developed and developing) are pulling their weight in terms of climate action, a key part of global accountability and building trust in the new climate regime established in 2015.
Some 124 review experts from 59 countries gathered in Bonn last month to reflect on the current reporting and review systems, and shed light on the new review process under the Enhanced Transparency Framework (ETF) of the Paris Agreement.
The deadline for submitting the first national reports on climate change action and support (known as biennial transparency reports) is December 2024, and the group of international experts tasked with reviewing these reports is also preparing for this next step.
