Capacity building opportunities and technical tools available to the Parties

1. Capacity building opportunities and technical tools available to the Parties • Miriam Hinostroza, Head of Strategy Global NDC Conference 2019 Berlin, 12-14 June 2019

2. Context Art. 4 - NDC Tracking Art. 7 - adaptation communication Art 13 - The Enhanced Transparency Framework, ETF), specifically the Modalities, Procedures and Guidelines, MPGs for the ETF. Art 14 - Theglobal stocktake;

3. What is the BIG Issue for transparency?? • Lack of reliable data, • Fragmented, unsustainable structures and arrangements, • weak coordinated processes • … and more • we need to help countries to have capacities for managing the full cycle of data flow - from data production to use • Actively promote the institutionalization of current best practices of national inventory work

5. Global south demand for CB support on the ETF Data traceability • Archives, indicators to track progress: • Mitigation: GHG trends, projections, actions and support • Adaptation:Climate trends, scenarios, impacts, actions and support • Impacts on SDGs and national development priorities Measurement • Appropriate methodology • assumptions • definitions Monitoring • Systematic monitoring • NDCs = goals targets, objectives • actions, strategies and measures • indicators • impacts M Support national reporting; climate actions NDC plans, adaptation plans, BUR/BTR Reporting Protocols NIR, BTR (including NDC tracking) R Tools guidelines data templates Archive systems Supervision Quality assurance & Quality control V Verification Assessment Review and consultation • Validation • (Future) ART 6 of the PA Certification • (Future) ART 6 of the PA

6. Objectives of technical support providers • Improve the availability and quality of data in partner countries • Strengthen national institutions and governance structures, including coordination and information-sharing across them • Build national capacities to establish and maintain information and registry systems for measuring, monitoring, validating/evaluating and reporting on mitigation, adaptation and support received • Enhance the ability to track the effectiveness of NDC policies and actions as well as financial support in achieving the intended outcomes • Improve the understanding of nationally and globally effective practices and the determinants that lead to their success • Integrate the contributions of non-state actors, including those of the private sector, into national registry systems • Document the impacts of commitments made by International Corporate Initiatives.

7. Establish/enhance national MRV systems - supported by sustainable institutional and legislative arrangements. Partnering with existing institutions to improve current capabilities to ensure that the capacities build remain within the country Meeting the objectives - how? • Capacity building - based on existing knowledge and feedback from developing countries to create guidance and tools that can be applied to a wide range of circumstances and establish requirements that encourage transparent and reliable estimates of impacts. Research • Regional and global knowledge management- facilitating dissemination and sharing including peer-to-peer exchange, knowledge facilitation, e.g. identification of good practices, development of tools and guidance, complementary e-learning/webinars. • New approaches to data generation, collection, analysis and report for evidence based decision making -Approachesin line with technology advances; research and innovation to improve the reliability, availability and accurateness of data. • Connecting and Networking - workwith organisations and stakeholders at all levels and across diverse networks, including in the private sector, academia and civil society.

8. Meeting the objectives - How? • UDP has developed a working framework for CB on MRV systems for transparency • Supporting sustainable National MRV systems including national, sectoral (private and public), and sub-regional levels • Capacity needs assessment (Institutions and stakeholders) • Design / develop tracking systems for: NDCs; Adaptation; Finance needed and received • covering the whole cycle of data management, from generation to use • CB for adaptation, to plan, implement, monitor, and evaluate adaptation actions in a transparent manner • Help understand the MPGs • Identify/define metrics and indicators • Date management • supporting tailored country activity packages; providing relevant tools, • training and assistance to meet the transparency provisions • Transferring knowledge and tools • On-line resources • Projects - managing a portfolio of projects
