This Virtual Global Forum focused on specific aspects of Common Tabular Formats (CTF) for reporting on information on tracking progress made in implementing and achieving Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), including on information on the use of cooperative approaches. The Forum allowed countries to share experiences in developing NDCs and long-term mitigation strategies, exploring opportunities for linking the two.
