In the context of the ETF, countries are expected to track and report progress towards achieving
their NDCs, and communicate adaptation actions, including good practices, priorities, needs and
gaps, so as to inform the global stocktake under Article 14 of the Agreement. Besides submitting
their National Communications (NCs) every four years, signatory countries will be expected to
submit Biennial Transparency Reports (BTRs) including a National Inventory Report every two years
starting from December 2024, thus replacing the Biennial Update Reports (BURs). Under this
combined BTR\/NC project, Lesotho will receive support to prepare its First BTR and NC4 and submit
them to the UNFCCC by December 2024, in compliance with UNFCCC and PA reporting requirements
and in alignment with national development goals, with built-in flexibility provided in light of its
capacities. Moreover, the country will be supported to undertake a self-assessment and stocktaking
exercise for the preparation of subsequent BTRs and NCs.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
