This guidance note gives an overview on what countries need to do under the Paris Agreement in terms of setting out their climate objectives (Nationally Determined Contributions, or NDCs), implementing them, and tracking progress in doing this (transparency). The note is aimed specifically at government officials interested in the implications of the Paris Agreement on policy in their country, and takes account of latest developments following COP 24 in Poland in December 2018 and the Katowice Climate Package that was agreed there

  Updated after Katowice, the 2019 version of this Pocket Guide takes into account the Paris rulebook agreed in 2018, to provide a succinct description and analysis of the new "enhanced transparecy framework" under the UNFCCC. The Pocket Guide aims to be useful for UNFCCC negotiators, and for national government representatives who have to translate and implement the transparency arrangements on the ground.

Countries around the world have set ambitious targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and, as a result, are now pursuing a breadth of mitigation actions across sectors and at all scales, from local projects to national policies. These developments make it more important than ever that countries not only identify methods to measure the impacts of these mitigation activities, but also that they capture these impacts in their national inventories to improve the accuracy of their greenhouse gas reporting.
