The multilateral assessment (MA) is part of the international assessment and review (IAR) for developed country Parties.
The MA of the progress towards achieving the quantified economy-wide emission reduction target for 2020 is undertaken for each developed country Party after the submission and technical review of their biennial reports.
In 2016, the second cycle of IAR started with the submission of the second biennial reports and the technical review of these reports by international expert review teams.

Note: The MA of Belarus was postponed until SBI 47 due to national circumstances.
