Transparency Framework

The Transparency Framework is essential for promoting trust and accountability of governments as well as for sharing information and best practices. Additionally, to ensure that it is helping to promote a holistic approach, the transparency framework should not just include accounting for emissions and financial transfers, but also how parties fulfill existing human rights obligations in their climate actions. Further, in preparing reports and communications, parties should be inclusive and offer opportunities for the public to  comment and provide additional information.
