The Paris Agreement, adopted in December 2015 at the 21st session of the Conference of Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), is the first legally binding document for all Parties to address climate change (UNFCCC, 2015). This is reflected in the nationally determined contributions (NDCs) of Parties. Although previous agreements on climate change had been reached, the Paris Agreement marked a new era where all countries will have the same transparency requirements for their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reporting from 2020 onwards. These universal requirements provide increased accountability on the steps countries are taking towards implementing the emission reduction goals set forth in their NDCs.
