Global Transparency Forum (2025)

This year's Global Transparency Forum is hosted by the Government of the Republic of Korea and will take place from 3 to 5 September 2025.

It aims to strengthen the implementation of the Enhanced Transparency Framework (ETF) and support the development of more ambitious and actionable Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs 3.0) by fostering peer learning, dialogue, and collaboration among countries, experts, and partners involved in climate transparency.

The specific objectives of the Global Transparency Forum are to:

• Provide a platform for developing country Parties to exchange lessons learned from preparing their first Biennial Transparency Reports (BTRs) and engaging in the Technical Expert Review (TER) process with a view to collectively advance transparency improvement strategies for the timely submission of the second BTRs.
  
• Discuss how national transparency efforts  can inform NDC updates and help drive the implementation agenda, including mobilizing climate finance, ensuring transparency contributes to enhanced climate action.
  
• Explore strategies for transitioning from ad-hoc reporting to institutionalized, government-led transparency systems, with a focus on sustainable data collection, capacity building, and legal frameworks.
• Strengthen collaboration among government officials, international organizations, and transparency support providers to advance the transparency agenda.
