UN Climate Change News, 13 May 2024 – With nearly six months to go until the COP29 UN Climate Change Conference in Baku, Azerbaijan, the incoming COP29 Presidency is working closely with UN Climate Change’s #Together4Transparency initiative to underscore the importance of climate reporting in enabling countries to meet their commitments under the Paris Agreement and pursue their own sustainable development goals. Yalchin Rafiyev, Chief Negotiator for the COP29 Presidency, said: “As incoming COP President, we know how important climate transparency is to the Paris Agreement: it allows us to track progress towards our collective goals, build trust and confidence, unlock finance, and identify areas where we need to accelerate action.”

He added: “Today’s workshop is the first major activity which unites several groups of stakeholders committed to joining forces in preparation for the ETF (enhanced transparency framework), particularly the submission of BTRs this year, recognizing that all actors can play a role in ensuring the success of the Paris Agreement. Using this opportunity, I would like to encourage all Parties to develop and submit their first BTRs ahead of COP29 if possible. We would also like to encourage international organizations mandated to provide technical support to Parties in enabling activities, including the preparation of BTRs, to speed up the process.” More information on #Together4Transparency More information on ETF support to developing countries See photos of the workshop held on 13-14 May 2024 in Azerbaijan |
