MODALITIES, PROCEDURES AND GUIDELINES FOR THE TRANSPARENCY FRAMEWORK FOR ACTION AND SUPPORT REFERRED TO IN ARTICLE 13 OF THE PARIS AGREEMENT Question 1:

What are some of the experiences and lessons learnt from existing MRV arrangements, and how could they provide a basis for an enhanced transparency framework on action and support?

We have many experiences and lessons related to reporting and MRV, for example : National

Communication – ICA , BUR - TA, REDD+ FREL -TA . Experiences and lessons that could be drawn from the existing MRV arrangements include :

• Existing reporting and MRV arrangements reflect diversity in national circumstances, capacities, and capabilities,

• Existing arrangements allows flexibility in reporting on the basis of CBDR-RC

• Increasing transparency along with the development of MRV arrangement for actions and supports

• The value of building MRV system based on the available system related to MRV,

• The Value of sharing ideas, experiences and lessons through various avenue such as mandated events, south-south/north-south cooperation

Question 2:

What constitutes flexibility for developing countries and how could it be applied through modalities, procedures and guidelines in a way that supports full and effective participation in the transparency framework?

o The work on transparency of actions and support should be guided by paragraph 89-98 of Dec.1/CP21 and Art 13 paragraph 14 and 15 of PA, including the elaboration of elements and scope in modalities-procedure-and-guidance.

o Flexibility should be reflected in MPG, to accommodate diversity national circumstances and capacities, and be applied in the whole range of MPG. CBDR-RC should also apply here. Indonesia views that flexibility should apply to the following areas :

1. Scope, frequency and level of detail of reporting, methodology used for reporting (e.g. providing information on GHGs, NDCs),

2. Scope of review to the report/information provided.

Review should also facilitate identification of support needs. We recognizes inter-linkages of transparency framework for action and support under Article 13 with other provisions in the Paris Agreement. In relation to support, transparency on support should be able to capture information from the works of different institutions/bodies/organizations (SBSTA, SBI, SCF, GEF, GCF).

Indonesia also welcome call for submission on common MPG with key elements include : 1. Experience and lessons from existing transparency arrangement,

2. Elements of MPG for transparency, that capture commonality and flexibility needs,
