Summary
At this side event, experts from IDDRI, IGES, NIES and TERI will discuss the ratchet-up mechanism under the Paris Agreement. Kentaro Tamura of IGES examined three elements of the ratchet-up mechanism: (1) a linkage between a five-year cycle of NDCs and long-term low GHG emission development strategies; (2) an enhanced transparency framework; and (3) a global stocktake, and highlighted the importance of interlinkage among the three elements. Thomas Spencer emphasized that the Paris Agreement is a rather dynamic process and is to develop over time, and that global stocktake should be designed to be a global learning process. Neha Puhaja of TERI discussed various options for flexibility to be built in the enhanced transparency framework in order to reflect different capacities of Parties. Yasuko Kameyama introduced the indicators for measuring the progress of climate policy, and suggested the importance of looking at both outcome and policy indicators.

2018 Facilitative Dialogue should be designed to identify emission pathways toward decarbonization rather than simply pointing out emission gap

Importance of sector-specific analysis in terms of policy development

Sector-specific analysis is also important to examine political-economic analysis of decarbonization transformation
