Events

Between the 1st and 4th of April 2025, the Capacity-Building Initiative for Transparency and Global Support Programme (CBIT-GSP) and the Partnership for Transparency in the Paris Agreement (PATPA) co-organised an in-person workshop together with the Collaborative Caribbean MRV Hub and the Secretariat of the UNFCCC in Grenada. The main objective was to provide targeted technical support to anglophone Caribbean countries with space to peer-to-peer learning and knowledge sharing, to provide them on tools and materials to support their prompt submission of their Biannual Transparency Reports (BTR) to the UNFCCC and exchange on common technical challenges in the reporting and the preparation of NDCs 3.0. The workshop was hosted by the Ministry of Climate Resilience, the Environment, and Renewable Energy of Grenada and supported by two members of the Consultative Group of Experts (CGE).

Over the four days, participants from nine countries in the anglophone Caribbean region had the opportunity to gain an increased technical understanding of the common challenges in BTR preparation, the ETF Reporting Tools, the Technical Expert Review (TER) and also the interlinkages between NDC Update and BTR finalization. This included the exchange of country experiences on BTR1, NDC 3.0, stakeholder engagement processes and how to establish a long-term national MRV system, as well as the learning from international experts on the use of the ETF Reporting Tools and the different steps of the Technical Expert Review (TER). During the Annual Meeting countries presented their experiences and learnt about past and future collaboration options the Collaborative Caribbean MRV Hub facilitates.
