Explicación del Reglamento de París

This briefing by the World Resources Institute explains the purpose and function of the 'Paris Rulebook,' the implementation guidelines for the Paris Agreement on climate change. It details how the Rulebook transforms the high-level goals of the Agreement into a functional system for national planning, implementation, and international review, with a focus on the negotiations taking place at COP24 in Katowice, Poland.

• The Paris Rulebook is designed to operationalize the Paris Agreement by establishing the tools and processes necessary for its full and effective application. Its primary goal is to convert the relatively short Agreement into a functional system that mobilizes concrete climate actions globally, providing guidelines on how countries plan, implement, and review their individual and collective progress.
• The Paris Agreement is built on three core objectives: limiting global temperature rise to well below 2°C (with efforts to limit it to 1.5°C) above pre-industrial levels, increasing countries' capacity to handle climate change effects, and aligning financial flows with low-emission and climate-resilient development.
• The 'ambition mechanism' of the Paris Agreement creates a cycle of planning, implementation, and review every five years. This includes the communication of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and a 'global stocktake' (GST) to assess collective progress toward long-term goals, starting in 2023, with the Talanoa Dialogue serving as an initial balance in 2018.
• Negotiators are debating several key elements for future NDCs within the Rulebook, including whether to establish common implementation deadlines (e.g., a target year of 2035 or 2040 for all), the specific information required for clarity, transparency, and understanding (CTU) of mitigation efforts, and guidelines for quantitative accounting to avoid double counting and ensure environmental integrity.
• The Rulebook establishes a common transparency framework for reporting emissions and progress every two years, though flexibility is granted to developing countries based on their capacities. Developed countries have the additional obligation to report on the financial, technological, and capacity-building support they provide, while developing countries are encouraged to report on the support they need and receive.
• International cooperation can occur through 'Internationally Transferred Mitigation Outcomes' (ITMO), provided they reduce emissions and support sustainable development. The Rulebook must define the governance of these transfers, including potential centralized registries and eligibility criteria, to prevent double counting.
• The Agreement includes a non-punitive committee to facilitate implementation and promote compliance. This committee may assist countries that fail to communicate NDCs or national reports and may identify systemic issues affecting multiple countries.
