Adaptation in Biennial Transparency Reports

The document outlines the role of Biennial Transparency Reports (BTRs) within the Paris Agreement's Enhanced Transparency Framework (ETF) and explains how countries can use outputs from their National Adaptation Plan (NAP) processes to fulfill reporting options on climate change impacts and adaptation efforts.

• The Biennial Transparency Report (BTR) is the central element of the Paris Agreement's Enhanced Transparency Framework (ETF) and serves as a replacement for the Biennial Report and the Biennial Update Report under the UNFCCC.
• Under the ETF, reporting on climate change impacts and sharing information regarding adaptation efforts is an optional activity for countries.
• The NAP Global Network is providing support to 20 country partners in the preparation of adaptation communications under the UNFCCC.
