Technical handbook for developing country Parties on preparing for implementation of the enhanced transparency framework under the Paris Agreement

The technical handbook aims to improve awareness and understanding of the ETF and its MPGs by national experts and practitioners from developing country Parties so that they may consider opportunities to improve current reporting and start planning for the establishment of institutional arrangements and reporting under the ETF.

The technical handbook contains two parts: the main handbook and its addendum.

An Overview of Mitigation Scenario Modelling Tools for the Energy Sector

The Global Support Programme, funded by GEF, identified the need for “Mitigation Scenario Modelling Tools” to help non- Annex 1 countries assess their mitigation action and policies. The current document covers the modelling tools for the energy sector, which contributed more than 78% of CO2 emissions in 2020.The modelling tools can help countries assess national emissions trajectories for the energy sector under existing (business as usual) policies and mitigation actions and policies.

Improving women’s access to forest monitoring

Capacity development activities in forest monitoring, including face-to-face workshops and online courses, can serve as important tools for increasing awareness on gender. However, women and other underrepresented groups, including youth, Indigenous peoples and people with disabilities, face significant barriers to accessing opportunities to participate in training and other capacity development initiatives, particularly in the forest sector. These barriers commonly include household burdens such as childcare, as well as social norms that undervalue the role of women in forestry.
