The APA continued to build on the outcomes of previous sessions (APA 1.2 and 1.3) on this Agenda item.

Parties also dedicated time to discuss what it would mean to conduct the GST in the light of equity and the best available science. The outcomes of the work on this agenda item were summarised in an informal note by the APA 1.4 co-facilitators for this agenda item, under their own responsibility.
Parties concluded their work at the session acknowledging that substantive progress had been achieved, but agreed that there was a need to accelerate their work to reach the maturity and level of detail required to complete it by December 2018. The APA 1.4 conclusions are available here.
