Enhanced Transparency Framework

The Enhanced Transparency Framework (ETF) specifies how parties to the Paris Agreement, which includes almost every country in the world, report on their progress in limiting and adapting to climate change.^[1][2][3] Thus it is a central component of the design, credibility and operation of the Agreement.

The reports also include support provided or received, and the framework specifies international procedures for the review and evaluation of the reports. With the creation of the Transparency Framework, a uniform reporting system was created that requires all Parties to disclose essential climate policy information.
