Together4Transparency at COP28

In Dubai, the UNFCCC secretariat hosted a 2-week series of climate transparency events covering a range of issues, showcasing achievements, successes and best practices from the past 30 years, paving the way for the full implementation of the Paris Agreement. With over 50 events, 160 speakers and 2,500 attendees, we advanced our joint efforts working “Together4Transparency”!

Transparency of climate action and support is one of the most important means of building mutual trust and confidence among Parties, promoting effective implementation and enabling Parties to raise their ambition over time. The Global Stocktake (GST) is a priority for discussions at COP 28 and the Enhanced Transparency Framework (ETF) plays a critical role in supporting more ambitious NDCs over time.

In partnership with a wide range of stakeholders, #Together4Transparency will bring together a range of transparency events during COP28. The primary objective of the initiative is to generate a global momentum for governments to prepare and submit, in a timely manner, the first Biennial Transparency Reports (BTRs) on the implementation of the Paris Agreement – the first of their kind that should be submitted before or at the latest by 31 December 2024.
