Implementation of the Paris Agreement: Transparency and Accountability of Signatory States’ Progress in Mitigating Carbon Emissions

Abstract

Based on nation’s voluntary ambition to mitigate carbon emissions, the Paris agreement was set in 2015. The agreement provides a durable framework guiding the global effort for decades to come. The aim is to create a continuous cycle that keeps the pressure on countries to raise their ambition over time. To promote rising ambition, the agreement established two linked processes, each on a five-year cycle. The first process is a “global stock-taking” to assess collective progress toward meeting the agreement’s long-term goals. Parties will then submit new NDCs, “informed by the outcomes of the global stock-taking.” With regard to the assessment of mitigation progress, the transparency is important to maintain the purpose of the agreement for a long time. However, the implementation of it remains uncertain In this regard, this research will find out the standard to measure the transparency in implementing the mitigation assessment based on UNFCCC documents, National Reports, and other resources with quantitative and qualitative analysis.
