The core of the Paris climate change agreement was negotiated in December, but much remains to be done to implement the accord. To help keep track of progress on the many tasks yet to be finished, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change on Thursday released its Paris Agreement progress tracker. “The progress tracker contains links to specific deliverables and/or websites for further information associated with the implementation of the tasks. This represents a helpful tool for governments, and especially delegations to the next Climate Change Conference, which will be held in Morocco in November 2016,” a UNFCCC release says.
The tracker includes tasks such as publication of parties’ intended nationally determined contributions to the agreement and developing guidance “to ensure that double counting is avoided.” The tracker covers 135 actions.
