Reporting progress towards Nationally Determined Contributions
Exploring possible common tabular formats for the structured summary
Common Tabular Formats (CTFs) for the reporting of information necessary to track
progress towards Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) under Article 4 of the
Paris Agreement, including on the use of cooperative approaches, are to be adopted
by COP26. This paper explores concrete examples and worked examples for the structured
summary of information to track progress, including on information on cooperative
approaches. This paper finds that the structured summary would be more likely to meet
the principles established in the Paris Agreement and related decisions, including
the Modalities, Procedures and Guidelines (MPGs), if it was separated into CTFs for
reporting on tracking progress indicators and a CTF for reporting on the use of cooperative
approaches.
