Abstract:In 2018,the Katowice Climate Conference basically completed the negotiations on the rulebook of the Paris Agreement,and finally adopted the decision entitled “Katowice Climate Package”. This marks the completion of the legal and institutional construction of global climate governance,thus turning global climate governance into a period of action for the full implementation of the legal system. Based on the analysis of the historical evolution of legalization of global climate governance,this paper focuses on the main contents of the rulebook of the Paris Agreement and summarizes the following main feature:the differences between developed and developing countries have been further weakened,legally binding on parties has been strengthened,and the top-down “hard law” has a strong regression. The rulebook is expected to make the relevant policies and measures of the Paris Agreement come true,but there exists a huge emission gap in the post-Paris era,and the global climate governance institutions still faces severe challenges to achieve the goal of the Paris Agreement. In the face of new situation and challenges,China should continue to push forward the implementation of rulebook of the Paris Agreement and take the lead in implementing them,step up domestic efforts to build an ecological civilization,and lead the global trend of low-carbon transformation. Meanwhile,China should strengthen climate governance cooperation with developed countries,especially the European Union and its member states,enhance south-south cooperation in the climate field,and work together to build a global ecological civilization.
