EXPLICATION Du les règles d’application de l’Accord de Paris

The document details the rules for implementing the Paris Agreement, focusing on Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), transparency frameworks, and the global stocktake. It outlines key decisions from COP24, such as the requirement for common timelines for NDCs starting in 2031 and the establishment of biennial transparency reports due by December 31, 2024. It also identifies remaining negotiation gaps regarding carbon markets and the specific duration of common timelines.

• The Paris Agreement operates on a five-year cycle of planning, implementation, and evaluation, where countries submit updated Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) to increase ambition over time. This process includes a 'global stocktake' every five years to assess collective progress toward long-term goals.
• At COP24, countries agreed that NDCs implemented from 2031 onwards must have common timelines, affecting the NDCs to be communicated in 2025. However, the specific duration of these timelines (e.g., 5 years, 10 years, or a 5+5 compromise) remained unresolved.
• To address transparency gaps in initial NDCs, COP24 adopted a detailed list of information required for 'clarity, transparency and understanding' (CTU). This list is mandatory for a country's second NDC, though early adoption is encouraged.
• Developed countries are required to provide biennial communications on projected climate finance, including the amount, channels (bilateral, multilateral funds, development banks), and financial instruments (grants, loans). These communications began in 2020.
• The Enhanced Transparency Framework replaces previous UNFCCC arrangements with a common set of guidelines for all countries, though flexibility is granted to developing nations. All countries must submit Biennial Transparency Reports (BTRs), with the first deadline set for December 31, 2024.
• The global stocktake process consists of three phases: information collection and preparation, technical assessment (organized around mitigation, adaptation, and means of implementation/support), and the final consideration of outcomes at the COP in the stocktake year (starting in 2023).
• An expert committee was established to facilitate implementation and promote compliance. It can intervene if a country fails to submit a required document (such as an NDC or BTR) or if there are 'significant and persistent inconsistencies' in transparency reports, provided the country consents.
• Significant disagreements persisted at COP24 regarding concerted implementation and carbon markets, specifically concerning the avoidance of double counting for Internationally Transferred Mitigation Outcomes (ITMOs) and the transition of Kyoto Protocol emission units to the Paris Agreement.
