Bangladesh ETF Roadmap Presentation on Paris Agreement and Country Gaps
The workshop on Bangladesh ETF roadmap delves into the country's national circumstances, climate policies, and UNFCCC reporting obligations. It outlines gaps in the national GHG inventory, monitoring, reporting, and NDC updates. The roadmap emphasizes transitioning to ETF, BTR readiness, and enhancing the enabling environment through MRV systems, EDMS, EIS, institutional arrangements, and capacity building. Financing for ETF implementation and conclusions are also highlighted.

ETF under the Paris Agreement The Paris Agreement's Article 13 established an ETF for climate action (mitigation and adaptation) and support received and provided. All Parties are obligated to report on their GHG emissions and removals as well as the status of their NDCs' implementation and mitigation goals on a regular basis under this framework. The present transparency provisions made by the Convention and the Kyoto Protocol are supposed to be built upon and improved by the ETF. By giving a comprehensive picture of the climate change action done by nations, ETF seeks to foster mutual trust. The data provided by the ETF will also be an important addition to the global stock take, increasing long-term ambition, including for revisions to nationally set contributions in the future NDCs. The ETF offers a standard reporting and assessment structure for both developed and developing nations for the first time. The measurement, reporting and verification (MRV) framework, the arrangements currently in place under the UNFCCC, is improved and expanded by the ETF. 4

Timeline of the BTR and NDC submission under the Paris Agreement
Objectives of the ETF Roadmap Though the country itself remains highly vulnerable to climate change, it has successfully developed key reports such as the NC, NDC, and BUR with the support of development partners. The country is now keen to implement the ETF and fulfill the UNFCCC reporting obligations for the BTR with as much of its own capacity as possible. However, limited institutional and technical capacity to attain the ETF, inadequate institutional arrangements for regular data sharing, inadequate system for monitoring adaptation and mitigation actions, limited experience with MRV systems for GHG emissions, adaptation, mitigation and finance tracking remain as a key barriers. In this backdrop, this document primarily serves as a guidance document for transitioning to ETF as well as steer the BTR preparation and submission process in Bangladesh by overcoming the aforementioned barriers. 9
Gaps in the National GHG Inventory Gaps in institutional arrangements: Though DoE has already prepared national inventories three times for the years of 1994, 2005 and 2012 as a part of the Initial, Second, and Third National Communication reports submitted in 2002, 2012, and 2018 respectively, there is no formal and/or legal arrangement in place for collaboration in data collection from different line agencies. Gaps in data collection, processing, and archiving: Data providers has limited capacity and knowledge in gathering, compiling, and archiving data into a data management systems, which has made it difficult to ensure continuity in GHG estimations. There is no GHG database in place to support independently deriving information or updating it for future reporting. Gaps in methodology and emission factors: Bangladesh used the Tier 1 method (i.e., default conversion values and default emission factors) for emission estimation. Due to lack of disaggregated data and emission factor the country cant use Tier 2 method. Gaps in projections of emissions and mitigation: Bangladesh has limited technical capacity to project its future GHG emissions and mitigation. NDC updates and emissions projections are mostly project based and not performed regularly. 10
Gaps in Monitoring, Reporting & Update of Bangladesh NDC Gaps in NDC monitoring: There is no dedicated unit to look after the day-to-day functions of the NDC implementation activities and MRV systems as per COP/UNFCCC guidelines. As adaptation and mitigation action are not always documented, tracking and reporting of NDC are challenging. Gaps in institutional arrangements: Institutional arrangements are an integral part for the successful implementation of any NDC which is limited in Bangladesh. There is limited coordination in the implementation of adaptation and mitigation action. Gaps in NDC monitoring: Under the ETF s reporting requirements, each Party shall provide the information necessary to track progress made in implementing and achieving its NDC as part of its biennial transparency report, in accordance with the MPGs. Information necessary to track progress made in implementing and achieving nationally determined contributions are not readily available in Bangladesh. Gaps in projections of emissions and mitigation: Bangladesh has limited technical capacity to project its future GHG emissions and mitigation. NDC updates and emissions projections are mostly project based and not performed regularly. Gaps in NDC Update: It is mentionable that currently Bangladesh doesn t have any Strategic Foresight Planning for NDC review and update which is very crucial for informed decision making. 11
Benefits of becoming ETF ready Benefits of becoming ETF ready Benefits of becoming ETF ready In order for countries to become ETF ready , it is recommended to take stock of the current situation in the country, identify necessary improvements and develop a roadmap for how they will be implemented between now and 2024. Ensure a smooth transition to the ETF for the countries that ratified the Paris Agreement Allow the key actions needed to become ETF-ready to be integrated into the NDC implementation plans The BTR roadmap should ideally identify what needs to be done to become ETF-ready , when these activities should happen and who will be involved. It is therefore an opportune time to take stock of the current situation in the country by: Allow for some learning-by- doing before the ETF is in place Looking for milestones under the current MRV framework and map out what the current in-country reporting arrangements are Parties can prepare a schedule of capacity building before the 2024 deadline and access support from support providers Identify the necessary steps leading up to the BTR, the required time period, and the capacity development needed 12
