The Enhanced Transparency Framework (ETF) for action and support helps countries concretely keep track of their progress in meeting their NDC targets and goals. The ETF enables countries to track and report on: 1) greenhouse gas emissions and removals; 2) progress made in implementing their NDC commitments; 3) climate change impacts and adaptation; and 4) support they have provided, received or still require meeting their goals. This information is submitted every two years to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) as a Biennial Transparency Report (BTR). 

Countries who signed the Paris Agreement have committed to keeping global temperatures to well below 2°C compared to pre-industrial levels. Each country has an overall plan for meeting their commitments known as the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC).
