Technical Analysis Summary Report of Montenegro's Second Biennial Update Report Submitted May 3, 2019

This document is a summary report by the team of technical experts presenting the results of the technical analysis of the second biennial update report (BUR) of Montenegro. The BUR was submitted on 3 May 2019. The analysis was conducted in accordance with the modalities and procedures outlined in the annex to decision 20/CP.19 under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). The reporting obligation for Parties not included in Annex I to the Convention stems from decision 2/CP.17, paragraph 41(a) and 41(f), which required the first BUR submission by December 2014 and subsequent submissions every two years, either as a summary within a national communication or as a stand-alone report. The scope of this technical analysis covered the extent and technical content of the information reported by Montenegro in its second BUR, including areas such as greenhouse gas inventories and mitigation actions, implicitly covering sectors like Agriculture, Forestry, and Other Land Use (AFOLU) as indicated by abbreviations. The analysis also aimed to identify capacity-building needs. Key obligations include the regular submission of BURs according to the specified timeline and format under Decisions 2/CP.17 and 20/CP.19.
