The rule book which was mostly agreed to, sets in motion a new international climate regime under which all countries will have to report progress in implementing provisions of the Paris Agreement – every two years from 2024. Essentially, Katowice marked the conclusion of one process and commencement of another – both aimed at ramping up ambition in implementing the Paris Agreement. With the rule book coming on line, another process, the Talanoa Dialogue was concluding. The Talanoa Dialogue was a year-long inclusive dialogue around enhancing implementation ambition towards achieving the 1.5℃ warming threshold set under Article 2 of the Paris Agreement as the best insurance against escalating climate change impacts. The urgency for ambition was validated by the Global warming of 1.5℃ report released by the IPCC just as countries headed for the COP24, which concluded that based on actions to date, the globe is headed for a 1.5℃ warming scenario sooner than was earlier projected, by a massive 20 years.
