Introduction
In 2025 Parties are requested to submit the next round of NDCs (NDC 3.0) to the UNFCCC secretariat. Parties are expected to submit updated NDCs every five years (e.g. by 2020, 2025, 2030), regardless of their respective implementation time frames. In the updated NDC, Parties may at any time adjust their existing nationally determined contribution with a view to enhancing its level of ambition (Article 4, paragraph 11).
The CBIT-GSP is a global capacity-building project funded by the Global Environment Facility, implemented by UNEP, and executed by the UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre to support countries in the transition towards the Enhanced Transparency Framework (ETF). The CBIT-GSP aims to strengthen learning, knowledge sharing, and capacity building in network countries to facilitate enhanced transparency activities, including NDC tracking, timely development, and submission of BTRs and NCs.
To this end, CBIT-GSP conducts a series of webinars in this important process of developing the first BTR. Specifically, the webinars will focus on Chapter II on information necessary to track progress made in implementing and achieving their NDC. The series will focus on MPG provisions from paragraph 59 to paragraph 103. The webinars will also enhance the implementation of the Paris Agreement (Article 4, paragraph 2) that requires each party to prepare, communicate, and maintain successive nationally determined contributions (NDCs) that it intends to achieve.
Approach
The series will use a mixed approach of presentations, quizzes, and sharing lessons learned to enhance learning on developing an NDC tracking chapter of the BTR that is information necessary to track progress made in implementing and achieving their NDC. The series will be delivered into four sessions based on MPG provisions from paragraph 59 to paragraph 103.
Country participants will understand how they can develop smart indicators toward achieving their NDC targets and apply flexibility and completeness requirements to the NDC chapter of BTR.
Objective
The main objective of this webinar series is to share knowledge and enhance learning on developing an NDC tracking chapter of the BTR that is information necessary to track progress made in implementing and achieving their NDC.
Specific objective:
- Build the capacity of countries in developing the NDC tracking chapter of the BTR
- Enhance the capacity of countries to prepare, communicate, and maintain successive nationally determined contributions (NDCs)
