联合国气候变化新闻，2024 年 11 月 22 日 – 联合国气候变化署和 COP29 主席国在 COP29 期间庆祝全球气候透明度新篇章的开始，根据《巴黎协定》提交了第一批双年度透明度报告 （BTR）。
随着 2024 年 12 月 31 日提交 BTR 的截止日期临近，联合国气候变化和 COP29 主席国举办了两场高级别活动，以表彰在 COP29 之前和期间提交报告的领跑者国家，标志着增强透明度框架 （ETF） 的全面实施。
11 月 12 日，高级别 #Together4Transparency 开幕活动为这些庆祝活动奠定了基础。联合国气候变化执行秘书西蒙·斯蒂尔 （Simon Stiell） 和阿塞拜疆生态和自然资源部副部长乌梅拉·塔吉耶娃 （Umayra Taghiyeva） 赞扬了圭亚那、巴拿马和西班牙早期提交的 BTR。
“透明度有助于采取更强有力的气候行动，”Stiell 说。“每份两年期透明度报告都代表一个里程碑，捕捉了所取得的进步并规划了未来的道路。”
Stiell 向来自公认国家的代表颁发了证书，以表彰他们作为气候透明度的“拥护者”所做的努力和承诺。
11 月 18 日举行的高级别部长级圆桌会议庆祝了安道尔、德国、日本、哈萨克斯坦、马尔代夫、荷兰、新加坡和土耳其提交的更多早期 BTR，为提高气候行动的透明度建立了政治势头。
在本次会议期间，各国对巴库透明度平台 （BTP） 表示欢迎，这是 COP29 主席国的一项倡议，旨在加强对 ETF 的参与并简化现有透明度支持，特别是对发展中国家的支持。
“BTR 提供高质量、一致的气候数据，为投资提供可预测性。如果定期衡量数据并公开分享数据，各国就更有可能兑现并超越其承诺，“联合国副秘书长兼联合国环境规划署执行主任英格·安德森说。
德国国务秘书兼国际气候行动特使詹妮弗·摩根 （Jennifer Morgan） 强调了透明度与国际合作之间的联系：“信任是任何谈判达成协议的核心。这就是为什么气候谈判的透明度如此重要的原因。
巴哈马总理菲利普·戴维斯 （Philip Davis） 在反思透明度的统一作用时表示：“透明度是将我们所有人团结在一起的纽带。
这些活动还为各国提供了一个分享其收集数据和准备报告经验的空间。
阿塞拜疆和欧盟也在 COP29 的最后几天提交了他们的 BTR。联合国气候变化署预计未来几周将提交更多的 BTR。
然后，这些报告将接受技术专家审查，然后是促进性多边进展考虑，各国将分享成功和挑战，以确保全面了解进展和差距。
这些报告将成为未来几年和几十年国际气候行动的基石，提供指导国家行动应对气候危机所需的强大、循证见解。

UN Climate Change News, 22 November 2024 – UN Climate Change and the COP29 Presidency celebrated the start of a new chapter in global climate transparency during COP29, with the first submissions of Biennial Transparency Reports (BTRs) under the Paris Agreement.
With the 31 December 2024 deadline for BTR submissions drawing near, UN Climate Change and the COP29 Presidency hosted two high-level events to recognize frontrunner countries that submitted their reports in the lead-up to and during COP29, marking full implementation of the Enhanced Transparency Framework (ETF).
On 12 November, the High-Level #Together4Transparency Opening Event set the stage for these celebrations. UN Climate Change Executive Secretary Simon Stiell and Azerbaijan’s Deputy Minister of Ecology and Natural Resources Umayra Taghiyeva commended Guyana, Panama and Spain for their early BTR submissions.
“Transparency enables stronger climate action,” Stiell said. “Each Biennial Transparency Report represents a milestone, capturing the strides made and charting the path ahead.”
Stiell presented representatives from the recognized countries with certificates acknowledging their efforts and commitment as “champions” of climate transparency.
A High-Level Ministerial Roundtable on 18 November celebrated additional early BTR submissions by Andorra, Germany, Japan, Kazakhstan, the Maldives, the Netherlands, Singapore and Türkiye, building political momentum towards enhanced transparency of climate action.
During this session, countries welcomed the Baku Transparency Platform (BTP), an initiative by the COP29 Presidency to enhance participation in the ETF and streamline existing transparency support, especially for developing countries.
"BTRs provide high-quality, consistent climate data, offering predictability for investment. When data is measured regularly and shared openly, countries are more likely to meet and exceed their commitments,” said Inger Andersen, UN Under-Secretary-General and Executive Director of the United Nations Environment Programme.
Jennifer Morgan, Germany’s State Secretary and Special Envoy for International Climate Action, underscored the link between transparency and international cooperation: “Trust is at the heart of reaching agreement in any negotiation. That’s why transparency in climate negotiations is so important.”
Reflecting on the unifying role of transparency, Prime Minister Philip Davis of the Bahamas stated that "Transparency is the thread that unites us all."
The events also offered a space for countries to share their experiences in gathering data and preparing their reports.
Azerbaijan and the European Union also submitted their BTRs during the last few days of COP29. UN Climate Change anticipates many more BTR submissions in the coming weeks.
The reports will then undergo technical expert reviews, followed by the Facilitative Multilateral Consideration of Progress, where countries will share successes and challenges to ensure a comprehensive understanding of progress and gaps.
These reports will serve as a cornerstone for international climate action in the years and decades ahead, providing the robust, evidence-based insights needed to guide national actions to address the climate crisis.
