The first-ever Annual Report from UN Climate Change lays out key 2017 achievements and points to the future of the climate change process. Throughout 2017, UN Climate Change continued to deliver on its core tasks: supporting the intergovernmental process, bringing transparency to climate commitments, supporting parties in building resilience and adapting to climate change, facilitating the mobilization of finance and diffusion of technology, and fostering cooperation with non-party stakeholders to realize the Paris Agreement’s potential. The report also looks at the outlook for the year ahead, including increasing the number of ratifications of the Doha Amendment to the Kyoto Protocol so it can enter into force, the Talanoa Dialogue which will inform and inspire parties as they increase their commitments, and adopting the outcomes of the work programme of the Paris Agreement at the end of 2018.
