Context of reporting BURs from non-Annex I Parties
•
Effort to enhance reporting in national communications, including inventories, from
non-Annex I Parties on mitigation actions and their effects, needs and support received
(1/CP.16, paragraph 60)
•
To serve as an input to the process (international consultation and analysis) that aims
to increase transparency of mitigation actions and their effects (1/CP.16, paragraph 63)
