The Parties submitted their views and feedback on their experience with the test versions of the reporting tools, including their experience with integrating the tools into their national inventory arrangements, as well as inputs on improving the tools by December 2023 via the submission portal.

The final versions of the reporting tools should be made available to Parties by June 2024, subject to timely availability of sufficient financial resources.
