2023 CGE Workshops

The Consultative Group of Experts (CGE), with the assistance of the UNFCCC secretariat, will organize three regional hands-on training workshops this year, as part of its work plan in 2023. The CGE decided to focus its regional hands-on training workshops on reporting information on climate change impacts and adaptation, including support needed and received in relation to adaptation reporting.

The main objective of the regional hands-on training workshops is, inter alia, to raise awareness of national institutions and experts on the reporting provisions for information related to climate change impacts and adaptation, as well as reporting on information related to averting, minimizing and addressing loss and damage associated with climate change impacts and support needed and received for adaptation.

Specifically, after completing the hands-on training, participants are expected to:

Acquire good knowledge on the arrangements for communicating adaptation information under the Convention and the Paris Agreement;
Understand the concepts of climate change impacts, vulnerability and risks, the steps entailed in conducting impact, vulnerability and risk assessments and averting, minimizing and addressing loss and damage associated with climate change impacts; and get an overview of available tools and methodologies;
Enhance the understanding of approaches to translate the impact, vulnerability and risk assessment results into priority adaptation actions; and
Further enhance the understanding of the key provisions and good practices in reporting information on adaptation in biennial transparency report (BTR).

2021 CGE Virtual Training Workshops

As a part of its work plan in 2021, the Consultative Group of Experts (CGE), with the assistance of the UNFCCC secretariat, will organize a series of regional hands-on training workshops on the institutional arrangements for the existing MRV arrangements and the enhanced transparency framework, including data management for national GHG inventories. Taking into account the prevailing COVID-19 situation globally and its impacts, these workshops will be organized virtually. The CGE recognizes that while the virtual trainings cannot replace the in-person regional hands-on training workshops, however, they enable the CGE to provide technical support to developing country Parties without interruption during these prevailing difficult times.

The main objective of the virtual training is, inter alia, to enhance the technical capacity of experts from developing country Parties to establish or build upon and strengthen their institutional arrangements, to facilitate the implementation of existing MRV arrangements and to prepare for the implementation of the ETF, including data management for national GHG inventories. Specifically, after completing the virtual training, participants are expected to: 

Further enhance the understanding of the existing MRV arrangements and the ETF; 
Acquire good knowledge of the key components of institutional arrangements, including data management for GHG inventories, in the context of existing MRV arrangements and the transition to the ETF;
Effectively articulate the areas that are essential to setting up, sustaining and continually improving institutional and legal arrangements, to support the existing MRV arrangements and the ETF, including data management for GHG inventories;  
Acquire examples of tools and practical experiences that can be built on and/or applied to establish or strengthen institutional arrangements; 
Discuss gaps and capacity-building needs to establishing and reporting on institutional arrangements for the transition to the ETF.

2020 CGE Virtual Training Workshops

The Consultative Group of Experts (CGE) had planned to organize three in-person regional hands-on training workshops on the existing MRV arrangements under the Convention and the ETF under the Paris Agreement, as part of its work plan for 2020. However, taking into account the prevailing COVID-19 situation globally and its impacts, the CGE, at the first ad hoc virtual meeting held on 14 April 2020, agreed to consider options for the possibility of organizing these trainings in a virtual setting. The CGE underlined that while the virtual trainings cannot replace the hands-on training workshops, they would be equally valuable in the event it is not possible to organize the in-person workshops in 2020.

The main objective of the virtual trainings is, inter alia, to enhance the technical capacity of experts from developing country Parties in implementing the existing MRV arrangements and understanding the modalities, procedures and guidelines (MPGs) for the ETF, with a view to facilitating developing country Parties’ preparation for the implementation of the ETF. Specifically, after completing the virtual training, participants are expected to:

Further enhance their understanding of the existing MRV arrangements;
Acquire good knowledge of the MPGs for the ETF;
Effectively articulate the areas of enhancement of the existing MRV arrangements to support implementation of the ETF;
Identify gaps and capacity-building needs to plan for and start preparing for the implementation of the ETF.

Four pre-recorded animation videos were made available in Arabic, English, French, Spanish and Russian languages, on the secretariat’s YouTube channel.

Introduction and overview of ETF: Presents an overview of the existing MRV arrangements under the Convention and the ETF under Paris Agreement;
Reporting under the ETF: Presents an overview of the reporting provisions under the ETF based on MPGs and how the existing MRV arrangements can support the transition towards ETF;
Foundational elements of MPGs: Provides an overview of foundational elements of the MPGs, including flexibility provisions, institutional arrangements and continuous improvement;
Linkages – How ETF supports the Paris Agreement: Provides an overview of some explicit linkages of the ETF with other elements of the Paris Agreement, such as NDCs, adaptation reporting, GST, and the committee to facilitate implementation and promote compliance.
