The first GST, and our last chance to keep 1.5°C alive

OECD CCXG | Global Stocktake ¬ 13.09.2023
The success of the Global Stocktake will be judged not by its
assessment of gaps, but by its forward-looking recommendations.
34. Also decides that the outputs of this component of the global stocktake should:
(a) Identify opportunities for and challenges in enhancing action and support for
collective progress in relation to the thematic areas of the global stocktake […],
as well as possible measures and good practices and international cooperation
and related good practices;
(b) Summarize key political messages, including recommendations arising from
the events […] for strengthening action and enhancing support;

5. 5
OECD CCXG | Global Stocktake ¬ 13.09.2023
1) Clear guidance for the next round of NDCs
2) Focus on the systemic transformations that are necessary to reach
our Paris goals, with a focus on near-term action
3) Follow-up in 2024: what needs to happen

Key elements of a successful outcome

6. 6
OECD CCXG | Global Stocktake ¬ 13.09.2023
Guidance for NDCs:
• Call to submit NDCs aligned with the 1.5°C objective:
at least 43% GHG emissions reductions by 2030 and 60% by 2035
compared to 2019 levels
• Peaking by 2025
• Economy-wide NDCs + all sectors and gases
• Call to those that haven’t yet done so to strengthen 2030 targets
1) GST to inform the next round of NDCs

7. 7
OECD CCXG | Global Stocktake ¬ 13.09.2023
Process:
• Mandate a series of workshops in 2024 to provide a space for
Parties to exchange on the formulation of their NDCs;
• Toolbox: Mandate the UNFCCC Secretariat to develop
methodologies and guidance to support Parties in assessing how
their NDC is aligned with the 1.5°C objective + how their NDC
reflects fairness, in the light of equity and best available science
• UNSG Summit to galvanize momentum around the next NDC
submission
1) GST to inform the next round of NDCs

Mitigation
• Triple renewable energy capacity by 2030
• Double energy efficiency by 2030
• Phase out fossil fuels by 2050
• Tackle deforestation, promote Nature-Based Solutions
• Emission reductions in agriculture and food systems
• Transport emissions
• Buildings
• Etc.
• Human Rights, Gender
2) Systemic transformations and near-term actions
→ Concrete, actionable, trackable recommendations:

a) Where do we stand?
b) Where do we need to be?
c) How will we keep track of our commitment?
d) What will help us achieve this? (Best practices, support available,
initiatives)
2) Systemic transformations and near-term actions
→ Concrete, actionable, trackable recommendations:

11. 11
OECD CCXG | Global Stocktake ¬ 13.09.2023
Finance / 2.1.c
→ Assurance that will treat both climate finance + 2.1.c
• Call to reform of global climate finance architecture (debt, MDBs)
• Address barriers to access to climate finance
• Lessons-learnt 100 billion
• Call to eliminate & repurpose fossil fuel subsidies
• Call to develop methodologies to track alignment of financial flows
• How to address challenges related to alignment, e.g. stranded assets
+ International cooperation (JETPs, NDC Partnership, South-South)
2) Systemic transformations and near-term actions
→ Concrete, actionable, trackable recommendations:

12. 12
OECD CCXG | Global Stocktake ¬ 13.09.2023
Follow-up:
• Space to accompany the formulation of NDCs in 2024
• Mandate existing processes (ex: MWP, GlaSS, etc) to take up work
• Invite Parties to describe their efforts e.g. on energy transition, as part of
their NDCs.
• Reporting back during Annual Ministerial Roundtables
• UNSG Climate Summit to create political momentum
• Other?
3) 2024 as a key year // follow-up

13. 13
OECD CCXG | Global Stocktake ¬ 13.09.2023
• Equity, supportive of ambition
• Not captured by one principle alone
• Reflect past, present and future responsibility for emissions as
well as capacity
• Rooted in science
• Actions need to be 1.5 aligned
• Call to avoid overshoot of 1.5
• Enhance understanding of Tipping Points
Key elements of a successful outcome
