peer to peer or knowledge sharing events have taken place

In 2023:

ICAT’s virtual partner forum engaged over 200 stakeholders, including representatives from ICAT’s 50+ member countries, in an interactive sharing and learning space.

Two regional ETF Dialogues, co-hosted by ICAT, promoted implementation of the ETF, and shared mechanisms for countries to meet related requirements.

2023 saw continued partner engagement in transparency, and renewed political commitment, demonstrated in ICAT-hosted knowledge sharing events.

In April, ICAT hosted its third annual partner forum, virtually. It built on the experience of the previous ICAT partner forums in 2021 and 2022, as well as the in-person 2022 ICAT Community Meetings.

The ICAT Partner Forum

‍

The forum welcomed over 200 representatives from ICAT’s 50+ partner countries, governance bodies, implementing partners, and other interested stakeholders. Delivered over three days, in three-hour sessions, the ICAT Partner Forum provided a space for interactive engagement, allowing ICAT’s partners to share practical experience based on insights and learnings.

‍

The 2023 Forum concentrated on the theme of “Supporting country readiness for effective implementation of the ETF”. For each of the three days, the Forum zoomed in on priority areas including accelerating BTR readiness, supporting NDC implementation and the SDGs, and working with data. It covered essential topics, for example setting up MRV frameworks, tracking climate finance, developing M&E frameworks for loss and damage, and many more.

‍

Discussions highlighted the multiple challenges countries continue to face, but they are pushing forward, learning valuable lessons along the way. Data was once again at the centre of discussions, with consistent data of good quality being a core necessity for everything related to transparency of climate action. Finally, effectiveness of support was another key topic, recognizing the important role that transparency support providers play in getting countries ready to implement the ETF.

Building on the previous year’s success, ICAT collaborated with the UNFCCC Secretariat and other partners to co-host The Enhanced Transparency Framework (ETF) Dialogues at the Regional Climate Weeks for Africa, and for Latin America and the Caribbean. Both events consisted of two days, kicking off with a high-level political dialogue, followed by topical practitioners’ knowledge sharing sessions. Their aim was to promote and support implementation of the ETF in the respective regions. The dialogues provided an overview of international collaboration and support mechanisms available for countries in the region to meet reporting deadlines and requirements.

‍

Ministers, Vice-Ministers and other high level political representatives reconfirmed their commitment to transparency, and outlined some of the obstacles facing their country’s response. Country experts highlighted how they are progressing on the different challenges of the ETF, preparing for their first BTR to be submitted in 2024.
