On 30 September 2024, 20 participants from Cambodia, Lao PDR, Nepal, Mongolia, China, the Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand, Sri Lanka, and Viet Nam took first strides in strengthening their technical knowledge and skills in the preparation of their country’s Biennial Transparency Reports (BTRs).
Marlene Nilsson, Regional Deputy Director of UNEP Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific, Huicheul Jung, Director, KEI KACCC, Ministry of the Environment – Korea, Paul Desanker, Manager, Adaptation Division of the UNFCCC and Mukand Babel Professor, Asian Institute of Technology opened the week-long training in the Sukosol Hotel, Bangkok, Thailand.
The UNFCCC-CASTT Adaptation Academy in Asia 2024 aims to enhance developing countries' ability to report on adaptation for the Enhanced Transparency Framework (ETF) outlined in the Paris Agreement. Given that every country is required to submit its Biennial Transparency Report (BTR) by the end of 2024, it presents a significant opportunity to increase comprehension of adaptation reporting.
This year, the Adaptation Academy is organised and hosted by the Ministry of Environment, Republic of Korea, with the support of the UNFCCC secretariat, will organize a five-day international Adaptation Academy from 30 September to 4 October 2024 in Bangkok, Thailand. The event is co-organized by the Korea Environment Institute (KEI)-Korea Adaptation Center for Climate Change (KACCC), Asian Institute for Technology (AIT), the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP)-Asia Pacific Adaptation Network (APAN), the UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre (UNEP CCC), United Nations Development Programme, and the Food and Agriculture Organisation.
