Technical Paper

Beneﬁts of Climate Transparency

October 2023

Disclaimer

This technical paper explores potential beneﬁts that countries can gain from implementing climate transparency

arrangements and products from it, including operationalizing information systems to track and report progress in

adaptation and mitigation action, as well as progress in means of implementation. It does not aim to provide any

standardized guidelines to the current and future reporting requirements under the UNFCCC.

This technical paper is an update of the 2018 discussion paper “National beneﬁts of climate reporting” published by

the Partnership on Transparency in the Paris Agreement (PATPA). The original authors were Amr Osama Abdel-Aziz,

Jessica Wade-Murphy, Emelie Öhlander, Morten Pedersen and Luis de la Torre, and the original editors were Matthias

Daun, Rocio Lichte, Hanna Reuter, Verena Schauss, Catarina Tarpo, Klaus Wenzel and Oscar Zarzo Fuertes.

The technical paper was developed by PATPA and the UNFCCC secretariat, with the support of the Initiative for Climate

Action Transparency (ICAT), the Institute for Global Environmental Strategies (IGES), the International Institute for En-

vironment and Development (IIED), the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the Food and Agriculture

Organization of the United Nations (FAO).

The update to the 2018 discussion paper was possible through the inputs and contributions of the following authors,

collaborators and editors.
