Two representatives from Antigua and Barbuda's Department of Environment travelled to Guatemala City last week to participate in a regional climate reporting workshop, according to Antigua News Room.
Ms. Anik Jarvis, Data Consultant, and Mr. Garth Simon, Project Technical Officer, attended the 2026 CGE Hands-on Training Workshop for Latin America and the Caribbean Region, held from July 6 to 8 in Antigua City, Guatemala.
The workshop convened national experts from across Latin America and the Caribbean under the theme "Towards Improved BTRs, with a focus on Adaptation: Exchange of Experience, Good Practices and Lesson Learned." Its central aim was to strengthen technical capacities for the preparation and timely submission of Biennial Transparency Reports (BTRs) under the Paris Agreement's Enhanced Transparency Framework.
Training sessions covered a range of technical 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 aligns with the country's broader national efforts to strengthen climate transparency, improve adaptation reporting, enhance climate data systems, and build institutional capacity ahead of future BTR submissions.
Upon conclusion of the workshop, participants received certificates recognising their active engagement in the regional training and peer-learning exchange.
