PURPOSEOFTHEETF
The purpose of the framework for
transparency of action is to provide a clear
understanding of climate change action,
including clarity and tracking of progress
towards achieving Parties’ individual NDCs
and Parties’ adaptation actions.
Transparency of support is to provide
clarity on support provided and received by
relevant individual Parties in the context
of climate change actions and to p rovide a
full overview of aggregate financial support
provided to inform the global stocktake.
The enhanced transparency framework for action and support
has been established in order to build mutual trust and
confidence, and to promote effective implementation of the
Paris Agreement. The framework builds on and enhances the
existing MRV arrangements under the Convention, with built-in
flexibility which takes into account Parties’ different capacities
and builds upon collective experience.
