Representatives from the Department of Environment Ms. Anik Jarvis, Data Consultant, and Mr. Garth Simon, Project Technical Officer, participated in the 2026 CGE Hands-on Training Workshop for Latin America and the Caribbean Region, held from 6–8 July 2026 in Antigua City, Guatemala.

The workshop, held under the theme “Towards Improved BTRs, with a focus on Adaptation: Exchange of Experience, Good Practices and Lesson Learned,” brought together national experts from across Latin America and the Caribbean to strengthen technical capacities for the preparation and timely submission of Biennial Transparency Reports (BTRs) under the Paris Agreement’s Enhanced Transparency Framework.

The training focused on key areas including reporting on climate change impacts and adaptation, adaptation indicators, Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) systems, loss and damage reporting, flexibility provisions, improvement planning, and participation in the Technical Expert Review and Facilitative Multilateral Consideration of Progress processes.

Antigua and Barbuda’s participation supports ongoing national efforts to strengthen climate transparency, improve adaptation reporting, enhance climate data systems, and build institutional capacity for future BTR submissions.

At the close of the workshop, participants received certificates in recognition of their active engagement in the regional training and peer-learning exchange.
