The Talanoa Dialogue was a 2017–2018 process within climate change discussions, designed to help countries implement and enhance their Nationally Determined Contributions by 2020. The Dialogue was mandated by the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change to take stock of the collective global efforts to reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases, in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement, which is to limit the rise in average global temperature to 2°C (3.6°F) above pre-industrial levels, and to pursue efforts to limit the increase to 1.5°C (2.7°F).[1]
The Talanoa Dialogue was launched in 2017 at COP 23 under the presidency of the Republic of Fiji, and was a year-long process that culminated in political discussions at COP 24 in Katowice, Poland, where political leaders were to signal their commitment to increasing the ambition of their NDCs.[1][2]
The Talanoa Dialogue represented an opening up of the UN Climate Negotiations because non-state actors were able to participate and submit their ideas for how national governments could improve their emission reduction targets.[3]
