Experiences

The FMCP will build upon the experiences gained under the Convention through the Multilateral Assessment (MA) and Facilitative Sharing of Views (FSV), which were a key part of the International Assessment and Review (IAR) and International Consultation and Analysis (ICA) processes for Annex I and non-Annex I Parties, respectively.

Benefits of FMCP

FMCP is a platform for dialogue

It serves as a multilateral exchange, offering Parties an opportunity to engage, share experiences and learn from each other's best practices in delivering climate action and support, driving forward the collective effort to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement.

FMCP provides Parties with a channel to voice their successes and flag their gaps and capacity building needs

FMCP provides Parties with a channel to voice their successes and flag their gaps and capacity building needs in preparing their GHG inventory, implementing mitigation actions and adaptation measures and providing and receiving climate support. This exchange of information and ideas fosters a sense of solidarity and mutual understanding among nations.

FMCP enables to foster civil society’s awareness of climate action and support

It offers an opportunity for different stakeholders to understand Parties’ efforts made, challenges faced, and progress achieved, which is essential for building trust in the multilateral process.
