This guide by the World Resources Institute explains the 'Rulebook' of the Paris Agreement, which provides the detailed operational guidelines for the agreement's planning-implementation-review cycle. It details the decisions reached at COP24 in Katowice, Poland, and identifies remaining negotiation gaps regarding common timelines, carbon markets, and technical transparency formats.

• The Paris Agreement's 'Rulebook' operationalizes a five-year cycle of planning, implementation, and review, where countries submit updated Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) to increase climate ambition over time.
• At COP24, countries agreed that NDCs implemented starting in 2031 must follow common timelines, which applies to NDCs reported in 2025. However, the specific duration of these common timelines (e.g., 5-year vs 10-year periods) remains unresolved.
• To improve the clarity, transparency, and understanding (CTU) of NDCs, COP24 established a detailed list of required information that countries must use starting with their second NDC.
• Developed countries are required to provide projected financial information every two years starting in 2020, detailing the amount of funding, channels, financial instruments, and priorities to help developing countries plan climate actions.
• The Enhanced Transparency Framework requires all countries to submit Biennial Transparency Reports (BTRs), with the first reports due by December 31, 2024.
• The Global Stocktake is a process occurring every five years (starting in 2023) to assess collective progress toward long-term goals through three stages: data collection and preparation, technical assessment, and consideration of outcomes.
• A committee of experts was established to facilitate implementation and promote compliance. It can intervene if a country fails to submit mandatory documents, such as NDCs or BTRs, or if there are persistent inconsistencies in transparency reports.
• Significant gaps remain regarding cooperative implementation and carbon markets, specifically concerning the avoidance of 'double counting' of emission reductions and the transition of units from the Kyoto Protocol.
