This mechanism should be facilitative in nature and function in a manner that is transparent, non adversarial and non punitive as well as paying particular attention to the national capabilities and circumstances in accordance with the Article 15 paragraph 2 of the Paris Agreement.

2. Procedures of the review mechanism, how and when the mechanism will be conducted.

3. The composition of the committee in accordance with paragraph 102 of Decision 1/CP.21.

(a) Written submissions from any Party with respect to its own compliance;

(b) National reports of te implementation of their NDCs;

(c) Requests from the Conference of the Parties.

After reviewing the implementation of Parties NDCs, the Committee will formulate recommendations to be adopted by the CMA.The commitee will formulate the recommendation, and in the case of non-compliance, consists of actions to be taken by that Party based on the information of the causes of non compliance while taking into consideration the respective national capabilities and circumstances of the Parties.
