Setting the Paris Agreement in Motion: Key Requirements for the Implementing Guidelines

The document outlines a proposal by the Project for Advancing Climate Transparency (PACT) to assist climate negotiators in creating cohesive implementing guidelines for the Paris Agreement. It focuses on the cycle of planning, implementing, and reviewing climate actions, identifying core requirements for elements such as common timeframes and cooperative processes to ensure accountability and sustainable development.

• The paper aims to assist negotiators in meeting the December 2018 deadline to adopt foundational implementing guidelines for the Paris Agreement by addressing existing gaps and challenges to ensure the guidelines are clear, robust, and cohesive.
• The proposed guidelines cover every phase of the Paris Agreement's implementation—planning, implementing, and reviewing—and identify core requirements for specific elements including cooperative processes, common timeframes, and the communication and review of national or collective progress.
