The Paris Agreement that was reached on 12 December 2015 delivered a universal accord on reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to a level that would keep the planet well below 2 degrees Celsius warming. Following that agreement, implementation is key and countries now have the task to accelerate the pace at which GHG emissions are reduced. This paper presents the views from a group of government officials on the role Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs) will play in implementation of the Paris Agreement in developing countries.
