Climate Transparency

The Climate Transparency Partnership brings together climate assessments and expertise from organisations in the G20 countries. Since 2014, the partnership has been analysing the G20's progress in the transformation to a green economy using independent, comparable and comprehensive data. The partnership comprises 16 civil society organisations from 14 G20 countries.

The partnership strengthens the knowledge of stakeholders in the G20 countries and expands their ability to initiate ambitious climate protection measures. Workshops, briefings, publications and media reports inform government representatives, NGOs, think tanks and companies about the state of climate protection in the world's largest economies.

The Climate Transparency Report provides information on all G20 countries in a cross-sectional report and focusses on each individual country in separate country profiles. The report provides information on emissions, mitigation, vulnerability, adaptation and finance.
