Mutual Learning Program for Enhanced Transparency

The Mutual Learning Program for Enhanced Transparency (MLP) is for pairs of countries and organizations to learn and practice reporting of climate actions, based on each other’s reporting exercises. The output of the MLP can be used as the basis for actual reporting on the Paris Agreement’s ETF. The MLP is for those who directly engage with preparation of BTRs and is particularly useful in understanding the application of the ETF implementation rules to develop reporting based on national data and assumptions.

Participants of the MLP can decide which topic to focus on depending on countries’ interests. The MLP consists of three meetings and two exercises between those meetings. During the seven months of program implementation, we support participants to actively engage with continuous discussions and knowledge sharing. Since 2020, IGES has been supporting the implementation of the MLP as the secretariat in cooperation with MURC and other organizations. The MLP is financially supported by the Ministry of the Environment, Japan. From 2023, the MLP has been co-implemented with CBIT-GSP Central Asia and Caucasus; and Eurasia networks.
