Building Capacity for the Paris Agreement’s Enhanced Transparency Framework

The document argues that capacity-building support is vital for developing countries to meet the more stringent requirements of the Paris Agreement's enhanced transparency framework. It utilizes 13 case studies to derive six key lessons for making capacity-building efforts more effective, integrated, and sustainable, while emphasizing that new efforts should build upon previous UNFCCC transparency history rather than starting from scratch.

• Developing countries face more stringent requirements under the Paris Agreement's enhanced transparency framework, and many who struggled with pre-Paris requirements will require capacity-building support to comply.
• Capacity-building initiatives for the transparency framework should be informed by the existing history of transparency and capacity building under the UNFCCC rather than beginning anew.
• The paper identifies six key lessons for building transparency capacity based on 13 country case studies to ensure that future efforts are more sustainable, integrated, and effective.
