    MPSC integrated batchES 2018-19 CURRENT AFFAIRS DEC 18 – JAN 2019 COMPILED BY CHETAN PATIL CURRENT AFFAIRS DEC-JAN 2019 MPSC INTEGRATED BATCHES 2018-19 INTERNATIONAL, NATIONAL AND INDIA COP24: Member countries finalise ‘Katowice package’ rules to implement 2015 Paris Climate Agreement The UN Climate Conference (COP24) on December 14, 2018 saw the adoption of ‘Katowice package’, the rulebook for implementation of the 2015 Paris climate agreement. The Ministers of 200 nations reached consensus on rules after two weeks of intense negotiations during the 24th Conference of the Parties (COP24) to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) that took place during December 2-14, 2018 in Katowice, Poland. The meeting was presided by Polish President, Michal Kurtyka. The adopted guidelines package aims to encourage greater climate action ambition and benefit people from all walks of life, especially the most vulnerable. The UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres hailed the adoption of guidelines as a basis for a transformative process as this will require strengthened ambition from the international community. Katowice package: Rulebook for implementation of 2015 Paris Climate agreement: One of the key components is a detailed transparency framework to promote trust among nations. It sets out how countries will provide information about Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), including the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. They agreed on the procedure to uniformly count the greenhouse gas emissions. If poorer countries feel they cannot meet the standards set, they can explain why and present a plan to build up their capacity in that regard. The document sets a way to decide on ambitious funding targets from 2025 onwards from the current commitment to mobilise USD 100 billion per year as of 2020 in support of climate action in developing countries.
