2023 is the year of the first global Global Stocktake of the Paris Agreement. With the threat of overshooting the 1.5°C limit looming ever larger, all countries need to raise their ambition to curb their emissions effectively, to a degree that is fair to their development status. But ambitious targets are not sufficient on their own – policies need to be implemented to keep the 2023 targets within reach.
Climate Transparency’s new Climate Policy Implementation Check has been designed to assess and rate the implementation status of policy instruments along four categories: legal status, institutions and governance, resourcing, and oversight.
This paper is one in a series of national papers that analyse various aspects in the implementation of energy transition policies in Colombia, Germany, India, Indonesia and South Africa. With support by the Climate Emergency Collaboration Group, the papers seek to activate political dialogues in and between countries, and with engaged civil society organisations on energy transition policies and pathways.
