First Biennial Transparency Reports a milestone

COP29 has marked a significant milestone in global climate transparency with the first submissions of Biennial Transparency Reports (BTRS) under the Paris Agreement.

As the 31 December 2024 deadline for BTR submissions approaches, UN Climate Change and the COP29 Presidency have hosted a series of high-level events to celebrate early adopters of the Enhanced Transparency Framework (ETF), which is vital for enhancing climate action and accountability.

The celebrations began on 12 November with the High-Level #Together4Transparency Opening Event. During the event, UN Climate Change Executive Secretary Simon Stiell and Azerbaijan's Deputy Minister of Ecology and Natural Resources Umayra Taghiyeva acknowledged Guyana, Panama, and Spain for their prompt submissions.
