The Capacity-building Initiative for Transparency - Global Support Programme (CBIT-GSP) is a five-year global climate transparency project, funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF), implemented by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), and executed by the UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre (UNEP-CCC). The project is aimed at supporting developing countries in the transition to the Enhanced Transparency Framework (ETF) and its Biennial Transparency Reports under the Paris Agreement.
The CBIT-GSP project includes multiple components and has various support modalities, supporting countries at the global, regional and national level. The main support modality of the project is its ten Transparency Networks, covering all developing countries around the globe, through which key support is provided to countries in the respective networks. The Transparency Networks are organised by region and/or language, and two of the Transparency Networks - the Lusophone Cluster and Francophone Network - are implemented through UNDP's Climate Promise Initiative, with funding from the Belgium government. You can read more about the Transparency Networks on the dedicated Networks page on this platform here.
The CBIT-GSP project also offers various other tailored support to countries, such as the quality review of country's transparency reports, trainings on specific topics (e.g., IPCC software), the provision of a dedicated gender toolkit (forthcoming), webinars, knowledge products and global meetings where all countries and support providers come together. You can read more about our activities on the dedicated Activities page under CBIT-GSP.
The CBIT-GSP project also facilitates the exchange of information and fosters collaboration through its Communities of Practice—an interactive and user led space dedicated to a wide range of thematic discussions.
