The third round of Multilateral Assessment completed in Paris
|
|
The third working group session of the multilateral assessment process was held at SBI 43 on
1st December 2015 in Paris. Belarus and Kazakhstan were assessed during this session.
With this, the first round of the international assessment and review (IAR) process was
successfully completed. In total, 43 developed country Parties were multilaterally assessed
in the period 2014-2015. This process enabled Parties to discuss the progress made by
developed country Parties towards achieving their quantified economy-wide emission reduction
targets and to better understand, in an open and transparent manner, the mitigation actions
taken by developed countries in combating climate change as well as their ambition and
challenges.
Parties actively engaged in discussions in a constructive atmosphere which is critical for
building trust and keeping the positive momentum for future rounds of the IAR. To view the
compiled questions and answers for Belarus and Kazakhstan, which were multilaterally assessed
during the third session, please go to the individual
Party page. The Party record pages for these two Parties will be completed two months
after the multilateral assessment session in accordance with the modalities and procedures.
