BALISER LE CHEMIN

The fact sheet details key components of effective climate accountability frameworks, emphasizing the need for legislated governance structures, independent oversight, and the use of cumulative carbon budgets to track progress toward long-term goals.

• Legislating long-term emission reduction targets and governance structures increases government accountability while improving transparency, credibility, and predictability.
• The use of independent, evidence-based councils and assessments helps to depoliticize climate directions.
• Setting interim emission reduction targets as cumulative carbon budgets provides a more representative measure of a territory's contribution to global climate mitigation and clarifies trade-offs for decision-makers.
• Accountability is strengthened when governments are required to officially respond to reports from independent advisory committees and implement policy rectification measures if interim targets are missed.
• Expanding accountability frameworks beyond emission reductions to include climate adaptation and clean growth can lead to better-integrated policies and improved economic resilience.
