Agriculture and its activities remain split into two domains. Despite this, in this paper agriculture refers to all agricultural activities, e.g. all livestock and all land management, and hence encompass two UNFCCC reporting categories. A noteworthy top-down mechanism is the Global Stocktake (GST) mentioned in Article 14 of the PA, "which serves as a crucial review exercise to periodically assess collective progress toward the Agreement's long-term goals, enhance implementation of the Agreement and scale ambition" (Bushan and Rattani, 2017). However, the PA is largely bottom-up in its ambition to allow Parties to choose their own country-specific climate action plans and targets, as set out in the INDCs in the lead-up to COP21 and confirmed in the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) submitted after the ratification of the PA.
