Biennial Update Report submissions from Non-Annex I Parties

Non-Annex I Parties, consistent with their capabilities and the level of support provided for reporting, should submit their first BUR by December 2014, and every two years thereafter. The least developed country Parties and small island developing States may submit BURs at their own discretion. The BURs shall be prepared in accordance with the guidelines contained in decision 2/CP.17 (decision 2/CP17).

The BURs shall be submitted using the National Reports Submission Portal (NRSP). Please note that the file name should not contain the special characters while uploading the submission to the NRSP. Questions relating to the use of the submission portal should be addressed to reporting-nai@unfccc.int.

There is an increasing trend in the submission of NIRs and Technical Annex on REDD+ in conjunction to the BURs. The status of such submission are presented in the table below.
