At COP30 in Belém, #Together4Transparency hosted 16 events with attendance from ministers and other high-level government representatives, technical experts, intergovernmental organizations, support providers and non-Party stakeholders. The events included:

• 4 Mandated Events, including a workshop for Parties to reflect on the provision of financial and technical support to developing country Parties for reporting and capacity-building, an information session on progress in developing the GHG data interface, the 19th session of the Facilitative Sharing of Views (FSV), and the second session of the Facilitative Multilateral Consideration of Progress (FMCP).

• 12 #Together4Transparency Events, including a high-level opening, a Ministerial high-level dialogue on Transparency, training sessions on the ETF, BTRs and climate data; sessions on the BTR synthesis report, the Climate Data Hub, the NAZCA redevelopment and the signing of a letter of Intent with China’s Ministry of Ecology and Environment to promote transparency, facilitate technical capacity-building, and strengthen South–South collaboration. 

• In addition, we promoted a further 5 partner events on the Transparency Calendar

Detailed information on all these events can be found in the Transparency Calendar. (To view COP20 events, please use the filters to select the dates from November 10, 2025 to November 21, 2025.)

We continued to build strong partnerships to drive transparency and climate progress. 

• #Together4Transparency collaborated with the COP30 Presidency to showcase our work in the metaverse through their pioneering digital platform, Maloca, co-developed with UNDP. This space provided a global gateway to COP30 and we used the platform to showcase event recordings and ​present a Transparency Gallery featuring video explainers, case studies, reports, and our meme collection.

• We engaged for the first time with COP30 Youth Champion Marcele Oliveira, appointed by President Lula to represent youth perspectives in the process.

• Recognizing the power of multi-stakeholder partnerships, a special event highlighted Cooperative Climate Initiatives (CCIs) and their role in advancing the Paris Agreement. Together with the Climate Champions Team, Forest and Farm Facility, LeadIT, AIM for Scale, ERI, World Benchmark Alliance, Fashion Charter for Climate Action, and WWF Japan, the event showcased alliances and collaborations driving mitigation and adaptation, while also presenting the NAZCA portal’s CCI module.

• #Together4Transparency also partnered with CDP on the report “Data as the Catalyst: Powering System-wide National Transition Planning Across Climate and Nature Goals” launched at COP30. As this collaboration deepens, the Transparency Division delivered remarks at their launch event, welcomed CDP at our NAZCA event, and held bilateral discussions to explore future opportunities for continued cooperation.

• #Together4Transparency collaborated with Climate Tracker and Climate Policy Radar to deliver a joint event on “Making Climate Data Accessible”.This session explained the UNFCCC Transparency Framework and the BTR Synthesis Report, laying the groundwork for future engagement with both organizations.

• #Together4Transparency tried a new approach this COP by hosting its first-ever event in the Entertainment + Culture Pavilion. The event, “Let the Data be Heard”, brought the Climate Data Hub and the Transparency work to content creators and storytellers, equipping them to turn BTR data into compelling stories. A meme collection was also created from the event.

• An invitation to join the Italy Pavilion gave #T4T the opportunity to brief both new and seasoned transparency experts on the latest updates to the ETF. The session included presentations from a support provider, updates on BTR submissions, NDC tracking indicators, and illustrative country examples.

Transparency is at the core of the climate change regime, fostering trust and allowing for evidence-based effective climate action and support. This was reflected in the different communication channels:

• Executive Secretary Simon Stiell ​celebrated the first full cycle of the ETF on his LinkedIn and UNEP Executive Director Inger Andersen shared the celebration on her threads account.

• The UN Climate Change Transparency LinkedIn Group gained 357 new members, reaching 34,766 members. The group welcomed event announcements, highlights, and a daily Transparency agenda.

• 12 new photo albums were added on our Flickr Account capturing T4T events.

• ​Official UNFCCC photographers documented moments at our following events: T4T opening event, UNEP Gap Report, Climate Data Hub launch, Ministerial Event on Transparency, Facilitative Sharing of Views, NAZCA Redevelopment and Engagement Roadmap. See more highlights from COP30 on their accounts!

• In collaboration with Microsoft, UN Climate Change released an explainer video on the Climate Data Hub.

• Entertaining memes generated by the E+C event audience were published in the Maloca platform and Adaptation’s Instagram and TikTok channels.

• The Transparency Calendar reliably announced all mandated events, side events and partner events on schedule.

Advancing climate transparency requires universal participation. In 2026, we will continue to strengthen transparency through a diverse set of activities and events, enhancing the implementation of the ETF across the globe. Would you like to join us?
