All eyes on the signing, ratification and implementation of Paris agreement

Now that the Paris Climate Change Agreement has been clinched, all eyes are on the signing, ratification and implementation of the agreement. Key to its effective implementation are the national climate action plans submitted by countries ahead of the UN Climate Change Conference last December.

The plans specifically of developing countries can and must be supported by mechanisms such as the Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs) to effectively allow the world to transition to a low-carbon and resilient economy.

One hundred and sixty one national climate action plans, also known as intended nationally determined contributions (INDCs), have so far been submitted by governments across the world. In these contributions, covering 95 per cent of all nations, each country provides its own vision for low-emission and climate-resilient development.
