Reflections on Key Mitigation Ambition Outcomes from COP30 Discussion Paper

The Belém outcome launched two one-year initiatives: the Global Implementation Accelerator and the Belém Mission to 1.5. Both will enable and accelerate mitigation and adaptation ambition and implementation, as well as enhance international cooperation. While the Sharm el-Sheikh Mitigation Ambition and Implementation Work Programme will continue to address mitigation this year, it is up for renewal in November. Parties could usefully consider how to maximize the synergies across these workstreams this year and also consider the longer-term trajectory of mitigation efforts under the Paris Agreement.
