More qualified experts and more support from Parties to experts is needed

• Out of 972 experts nominated for

BR/NC, only 42 % (412) are eligible

(have experience and/or completed

the training programme) and only

25% (239) have completed BR/NC

training programme.

• The margin of 55 trained experts is

too small to sustain the demand for

the future reviews

• More qualified experts are needed

to sustain the increasing demand for

experts, especially those working on

the domestic MRV

• Parties’ support for their experts to

participate in reviews needs to be

secured

Fine-tuned tools and practices increased efficiency

• Early preparation of the of the BR3/NC7

ERTs, and fine-tuned tools facilitated

effectiveness, consistency and efficiency

of the reviews.

• In particular, VTR and RPG were found

helpful;

• Review report template was challenging at

the beginning but helpful afterwards;

• 5-6 experts and 1-2 review officers per

Party review was helpful;

• Those approaches and tools could build

basis for ETF.

MA - a platform for sharing pre-2020 climate actions and raising ambition beyond

Both the MA and the FSV open the door for transparent, constructive and positive interaction on climate

change policies, actions and solutions.

Patricia Espinosa, the UN’s Climate Chief said:

“I am really encouraged by countries’ eagerness to share their actions. Both developing and developed

countries have indicated that they are looking forward to this opportunity”.

Reaping the benefits of transparency, through this process, countries can recognise each other’s success

stories and have the possibility to scale up and replicate policies and best practices”.
