1. Background

The Asia-Pacific Seminar on Climate Change (AP Seminar) has been held every year since 1991 and has served as a regional vehicle for Asia-Pacific countries to build confidence through exchange of views and experiences on climate change issues in a practical manner. The 25th AP Seminar will provide opportunities to share the preparation of (I)NDC implementation among countries in the region, and to discuss how the post-2020 enhanced transparency framework can build on past experiences and support implementation of (I)NDCs.
