Consultative Group of Experts

6th Informal Forum

5 February 2024, 9:30-12:00

The Consultative Group of Experts (CGE), at its ninth meeting agreed, as a part of its work plan for 2023, to organize its annual informal forum after COP 28. The CGE intends to use this event as a platform to sensitize the key stakeholders on its current and future work, as well as to engage with them to seek feedback and collectively brainstorm on some of the key factors that are critical to successful implementation of the enhanced transparency framework (ETF) under the Paris Agreement.

To that end, the sixth informal forum of the CGE aims to showcase the work of the CGE and seek feedback from the relevant stakeholders on how its work be further reinforced in a manner that addresses the main challenges, constraints and needs of developing country Parties. Further, it will serve as a platform to hear directly from the audience on any new and emerging areas that require technical assistance and support. The informal forum will also aim to exchange views on the support opportunities available on the ground via other support providers with a view to exploring how these efforts could complement each other.
