Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the key highlights of the adopted package include- (1) The information about Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs); (2) Information about efforts to adapt to climate impacts by countries; (3) Climate Finance Related outcomes; (4) Confirmation of climate finance mobilization - developed countries have pledged to mobilize USD 100 billion per year by 2020, and through to 2025, for both adaptation and mitigation actions in developing countries. At COP24, a small handful of developed countries stepped up with pledges towards this goal. The United States of America (USA) which is one of the main contributors pulled out. At Katowice in Poland, the USA was there to discourage delegates from making such kind of changes. Developing countries need support to contribute climate actions towards the global effort. Moreover, reaching the USD 100 billion goals is also essential for confidence-building among countries and a greater effort towards it is essential. (5) Importance of the roles of the Green Climate Fund and the Global Environment Facility in supporting developing countries; (6) Arrangements for providing predictability and clarity on climate finance; (7) Financial goal beyond 2025; (8) Modalities, guidelines and procedures on Transparency Framework; (9) Modalities for establishment of a committee to facilitate implementation of the Paris Agreement; (10) Procedures for conducting a Global Stocktake of overall progress towards the aims of the Paris Agreement; (11) Procedures for assessment of progress on the development and transfer of technology; and, (12) Capacity building for developing countries. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, if all these things were to be implemented, the developed countries will help the developing countries perform their duties effectively."
