Climate Transparency

The Climate Transparency Partnership brings together climate assessments and expertise from organizations across the G20 countries. The partnership has been analyzing the G20's progress in transforming to a green economy since 2014 using independent, comparable, and comprehensive data. The partnership includes 16 civil society organizations from 14 G20 countries.

The partnership strengthens the knowledge of stakeholders in G20 countries and enhances their capacity to initiate ambitious climate action. 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 focuses on each country in separate country profiles. The report provides information on emissions, mitigation, vulnerability and adaptation, and finance.
