Background
The first ever Global Transparency Forum will be held on 20-21 May 2024, in Tokyo, Japan. The Forum is organised by the Capacity-building Initiative for Transparency – Global Support Programme (CBIT-GSP), a global support project funded by GEF, implemented by UNEP and executed by the UNEP Copenhagen-Climate Centre.
In this pivotal year for climate transparency, the Global Transparency Forum will bring together representatives from developing countries around the globe as well as key support providers and donors. The objective of the Forum is to provide a space for crucial discussions on countries’ readiness for the Enhanced Transparency Framework (ETF) as well as the provision of transparency support and how it can be improved, among others.
Against the backdrop of this Forum, a Support Providers’ Meeting is being organised, in collaboration with UNFCCC, to take place on 22 May 2024 in Tokyo, Japan. This Meeting is aimed at reflecting on the outcomes of the discussions of the Global Transparency Forum and discussing how to integrate those in the work of the different support providers going forward, also in the light of the upcoming BTR deadline in December 2024 and the submission of new NDCs by latest February 2025.
In addition to that, the Meeting will serve to discuss the coordination of support providers and, specifically, how this can be strengthened, also building on the discussions of a dedicated breakout session at the Global Transparency Forum.

- To explore how the coordination of support providers’ work can be improved and how support coordination can be facilitated
