Country Efforts in Transitioning towards ETF: Learning from the National and Global CBIT projects in Eurasia and the Caucasus

The Enhanced Transparency Framework (ETF) is the backbone of the implementation of the Paris Agreement on Climate Change and it is the internationally-agreed mechanism to monitor the progress of the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs).

The Capacity Building Initiative for Transparency – Global Support Programme (CBIT-GSP), implemented by UNEP and executed by UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre, aims to strengthen national institutions for transparency-related activities in line with national priorities, to provide relevant tools, training, and assistance for meeting the provisions in the ETF as well as to assist in the improvement of transparency over time.   

Since many of the countries implement or plan to implement their national CBIT projects and are part of the global CBIT-GSP, this event is intended to bring them together and showcase the example of the transparency progress of the Eurasian and the Caucasian regional networks. The side-event is jointly organized by CBIT-GSP and the Regional Environmental Centre for the Caucasus (RECC).
