Technical Expert Review (TER)
The expert review of countries' biennial transparency reports under the Paris Agreement's Enhanced Transparency Framework.
Definition
The technical expert review is the review process under Article 13 of the Paris Agreement in which teams of technical experts assess each party's biennial transparency report: the consistency of its greenhouse gas inventory with IPCC methodologies, progress made in implementing and achieving its NDC, and support provided or received. Conducted as desk, centralised, in-country or simplified reviews, the process identifies areas for improvement and capacity-building needs rather than punishing non-compliance.
