Mapping Katowice decisions related to Nationally determined contributions (NDC)

The document maps the decisions of the Katowice Climate Package, specifically focusing on the modalities, procedures, and guidelines (MPGs) for the enhanced transparency framework. It details the requirements for Biennial Transparency Reports (BTRs), the process for Technical Expert Reviews (TER), and the Facilitative Multilateral Consideration of Progress (FMCP). The guide also outlines accounting standards for NDCs, the role of the Global Stocktake, and support mechanisms for developing countries, such as the Capacity Building Initiative for Transparency (CBIT).

• Parties are required to use the Modalities, Procedures, and Guidelines (MPGs) as per decision 1/CP.24 for their second and subsequent NDC cycles, including providing information for clarity, transparency, and understanding according to Annex I of 4/CMA.1.
• The Biennial Transparency Report (BTR) will replace previous reporting documents like Biennial Reports (BR) and Biennial Update Reports (BUR). All Parties, except Least Developed Countries (LDCs) and Small Island Developing States (SIDS) who may do so at their discretion, must provide BTRs, with the first due no later than 2024.
• The Technical Expert Review (TER) process assesses the consistency of a Party's submitted information with the MPGs, its implementation and achievement of its NDC, and the support provided. The review can be conducted as a centralized, in-country, desk, or simplified review.
• The Facilitative Multilateral Consideration of Progress (FMCP) is a mandatory process for each Party to discuss efforts regarding financial support under Article 9 and the implementation and achievement of its NDC.
• The Global Stocktake, occurring every five years starting in 2023, assesses collective progress toward the Paris Agreement's goals to inform Parties in updating and enhancing their actions and support.
• Developing countries are supported in implementing the enhanced transparency framework through the Consultative Group of Experts (CGE) and the Capacity Building Initiative for Transparency (CBIT), the latter of which is supported by the Global Environmental Facility (GEF).
