On February 24-26, 2026, the Partnership on Transparency in the Paris Agreement (PATPA) will host its Asia Regional Workshop titled "Taking Stock of First BTRs and Getting Ready for Second BTRs." The workshop, which will take place in Bangkok, Thailand aims to provide a platform for developing and developed country Parties to reflect on and exchange key insights from the preparation of their first Biennial Transparency Reports (BTR1) and experiences from Technical Expert Reviews (TER).

- Modalities, procedures, and guidelines (MPGs) and application of flexibility
- Adaptation reporting
- Loss & Damage

Around 28 countries from South-East Asia, Central Asia and the Pacific will be invited to attend the workshop.
