Designing the Enhanced Transparency Framework Part 1: Reporting under the Paris Agreement

This working paper by the Project for Advancing Climate Transparency (PACT) consortium examines the reporting requirements of the Paris Agreement, focusing on the five streams of information to be reported, including what, how, and when information is submitted.

• The working paper analyzes the current UNFCCC reporting system to propose modalities, procedures, and guidelines for the Paris Agreement, noting that while some existing practices are effective and should be maintained, others require improvement or replacement.
• To prevent undue burden, Parties must streamline reporting processes and clarify the functions of various communication channels to ensure coherence.
• The design of the reporting system requires weighing different approaches to maximize transparency and meet Paris Agreement objectives, with a specific emphasis on the necessity of capacity building for developing countries.
