Climate Commission Leads Review of Philippines' Biennial Transparency Report (BTR1)
What happened
The Climate Change Commission partnered with experts from the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) for a five-day assessment of the Philippines’ first Biennial Transparency Report (BTR1). The BTR is a comprehensive report detailing the country's progress on greenhouse gas emissions, mitigation actions, adaptation efforts, and international support under the Paris Agreement’s Enhanced Transparency Framework. The review identified key opportunities to strengthen national climate reporting and integrate climate data into policies, programs, and investments.
