Abstract
The launch of the Paris Agreement’s enhanced transparency framework (ETF) in 2024 has been heralded with much fanfare. At the latest meeting of the Conference of the Parties (COP) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in Baku, Azerbaijan, slogans calling for all countries to engage in a timely manner with the ETF were plastered all over the venue...we argue that there is an urgent need now to assess benefits and burdens from engaging with UNFCCC transparency arrangements, including requirements of the ETF now unfolding. We do not have to wait until all countries have generated new transparency reports at considerable effort, to examine whether the ETF is fit for purpose and likely to deliver on its promises, and for whom.
