The Paris Agreement has marked a turning point for climate change as it introduced the Enhanced Transparency Framework (ETF), under the Article 13, which is critical to build mutual trust and strong cooperation among countries. With this framework, all countries, both developed and developing, are expected to prepare streamlined reporting on their climate action and the support received.
The Enhancing Climate Transparency (ECT) project aims to provide comprehensive capacity building support on climate data and transparency to meet the requirements of the ETF under the Paris Agreement and to foster south/south exchanges among countries. Funded by the Government of Belgium, this project will support francophone and lusophone country networks to strengthen their MRV systems and track the implementation of the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), on the road towards the Enhanced Transparency Framework (ETF).
The support is being implemented as a contribution to the Climate Promise and currently supporting 35 countries.
