2. Why do we support CBIT?
The UK is giving £10m from the International Climate Fund and £1m from the Scottish Government’s Climate Justice Fund because…
Transparency is a fundamental building block of the Paris Agreement:
Tracks overall progress against high-level goals
Shows progress against countries’ NDCs
Feeds into the global stocktake cycle
Domestically, reliable information and analytical capability is crucial for:
Understanding where your emissions come from
Creating evidence-based policies
Supporting wider development goals

3. But transparency is complex
It requires:
Technical knowledge
Access to data and methodologies
Institutional and governance structures
Currently developing countries have different capacities …which is where CBIT comes in.

4. Hopes for CBIT The UK would like to see:
Proposals focused on countries’ specific requirements
Links made between transparency and NDC implementation
Innovative ideas to share learning
Close alignment with the MPGs of the transparency framework
More donors coming forward, and the long-term future of CBIT work secured in GEF-7

5. Thank you
