About the event
This discussion will explore how utilizing the framework of the outcome of the first global stocktake (GST1) can: help (i) ground the GCAA in taking forward collectively agreed priorities; and (ii) ensure enhanced international cooperation for implementation under the UNFCCC up to 2030 and beyond.
In light of submissions received in response to the call for input by the Climate High Level Champions (CHLC) on views for the development of a five-year plan for the GCAA, speakers will consider how a 2030 vision for the GCAA could:
- implement and build on the vision the incoming COP30 Presidency set out in its 4th Letter
- strengthen cooperation between Parties and non-Party stakeholders, including through multilateral organizations participating in the GCAA and formal UNFCCC processes, and
- empower international cooperative initiatives to support the achievement of GST1 outcomes, target tracking, and communication of collective progress toward GST targets, increasing the accountability of GST-aligned voluntary action to 2030.
