In a fourth letter to stakeholders, the Brazilian incoming Presidency of COP30, has outlined its intentions to develop a COP30 Action Agenda to enable the implementation of the Global Stocktake (GST). It will be “shaped as a granary of solutions — a reservoir of concrete initiatives that connect climate ambition with development opportunities in investments, innovation, finance, technology, and capacity-building. Guided by GST findings, the incoming presidency proposes that the Action Agenda be organized into six thematic axes covering mitigation, adaptation and means of implementation: (i) Transitioning Energy, Industry, and Transport; (ii) Stewarding Forests, Oceans and Biodiversity; (iii) Transforming Agriculture and Food Systems; (iv) Building Resilience for Cities, Infrastructure and Water; (v) Fostering Human and Social Development; and the final cross-cutting axis of (vi) Unleashing Enablers and Accelerators, including on Finance, Technology, and Capacity Building.”
This framework will aim to promote systemic transformation and broad stakeholder engagement, solutions to help implement GST outcomes that are concrete, ambitious, designed to generate global impact, based on the best available science, and built upon the synergies between climate action and sustainable development. The proposal speaks to concerns by countries that there is not yet any agreed mechanism or guidance on how the GST is to be implemented.
