**Responsibilities**:
The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) is the leading global environmental authority that sets the global environmental agenda, promotes the coherent implementation of the environmental dimension of sustainable development within the United Nations system and serves as an authoritative advocate for the global environment.

The UNEP Latin America and the Caribbean Office (LAC Office), located in Panama City, works closely with the 33 countries of the region and its activities are integrated into the Medium-Term Strategy and the Programme of Work approved by the United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA).

Panama ratified the Paris Agreement through Law No. 40 of September 12, 2016, making effective its climate change commitment through its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC). The Paris Agreement, in its Article 13, raises the need to have an enhanced transparency framework that allows information to be available to assess if the necessary is being done in relation to compliance with the commitments assumed to face climate change. Panama is preparing to fully comply with the transparency requirements set forth by the Paris Agreement (PA) and has identified the following constraints and gaps:
a) The lack of technical capacity and know-how to generate, manage and disseminate robust and verifiable climate-related data;
b) Limited tracking of climate actions and investments executed outside the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Environment;
c) The absence of a robust GHG Inventory Management System;
d) The lack of national adaptation methodologies and indicators;
e) Weak and outdated institutional arrangements for cross-sectoral climate planning, data collection, and sharing; and

f) The absence of climate considerations in decision making

Recently, the Government of Panama published a Presidential Executive Decree which regulates the Global Climate Change Mitigation Chapter of the Single Text of The General Environmental Law and creates the Reduce Your Footprint National Program for monitoring the low-carbon economic and social development in the Republic of Panama. In addition, under this national mandate, Panama legally establishes the creation of the National Framework for Climate Transparency. The next step will be the publication of an executive decree for the Adaptation chapter.

The Climate Ambition and Transparency Team within the Climate Change Unit at ROLAC oversees and manages several projects in Means of Implementation to support developing countries in the fulfilling of the transparency requirements of the Paris Agreement. The Capacity Building Initiative for Transparency (CBIT) Project in Panama, with funding from the Global Environment Facility (the GEF) is supporting the country in developing its National Climate Transparency Platform and associated compliance processes.

The CBIT Panama project plans to share lessons learnt among different countries in Latin Americ
