Mutual Learning Program for Enhanced Transparency (MLP)

The Mutual Learning Program for Enhanced Transparency (MLP) is for pairs or groups of countries and organizations to learn and practice reporting of climate actions, based on each other’s reporting exercises. It also aims to facilitate understanding of how to use this information to track the implementation of NDCs. The output of the MLP can be used as the basis for actual reporting within Biennial Transparency Reports (BTRs) under the Paris Agreement’s Enhanced Transparency Framework (ETF) (e.g. Common Tabular Formats (CTFs). The MLP was funded and implemented by the Ministry of the Environment, Japan (MOEJ) and managed by IGES and MURC as its secretariat. Since 2023, the MLP has been implemented in collaboration with the Capacity-building Initiative for Transparency (CBIT) – Global Support Program (GSP). More than ten countries across regions have joined the MLP and benefited from the MLP to improve their transparency capacity. They also greatly contributed to the development of the MLP to meet with countries’ needs.
