4 (d). Term, composition, terms of reference and report of the Consultative Group of Experts
Abstract

As part of its workplan for 2025, the Consultative Group of Experts decided to continue focusing its provision of technical support and advice to developing country Parties on the preparation and submission of their first biennial transparency reports. Given the limited financial resources available to it for implementing its workplan, the Group was unable to conduct its regular regional hands-on training workshops in 2025. Instead, it collaborated with partners to deliver subregional hands-on training workshops, on facilitating implementation by developing country Parties of the enhanced transparency framework under the Paris Agreement, with the objective of enhancing the technical capacity of experts from those Parties in relation to preparing their first biennial transparency reports with a view to facilitating their submission as soon as possible. This report provides a summary of the workshops, including details on the contribution of the Consultative Group of Experts in providing technical advice and support, and includes feedback from workshop participants.
