| Kigali Amendment to Montreal Protocol | 2016 | While not directly amending the Paris Agreement, the Kigali Amendment complements it by addressing hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) - potent greenhouse gases not covered by Paris. India ratified this amendment in 2021, committing to reduce HFC consumption by 85% by 2047. | Demonstrates how multiple international agreements work together on climate action, with the Kigali Amendment potentially avoiding 0.4°C of global warming by 2100, supporting Paris Agreement temperature goals. |
| Article 6 Rulebook (Glasgow) | 2021 | COP26 in Glasgow finalized the Article 6 rulebook governing international carbon markets and cooperative approaches under the Paris Agreement. This included rules for voluntary carbon markets, international transfer of mitigation outcomes, and non-market approaches. | Operationalizes carbon markets under the Paris Agreement, potentially mobilizing billions in climate finance and enabling countries to achieve NDCs more cost-effectively while maintaining environmental integrity. |
