Over the past years, we have witnessed a groundswell of climate action from non-State actors – businesses, investors, cities and regions, civil society and communities worldwide. Since the Paris Agreement, the High-Level Champions have worked to bring coherence and alignment to this action agenda, giving confidence across sectors and systems that a concerted effort can accelerate the transition towards a net-zero, nature-positive, and climate-resilient future by 2030.
The Global Stocktake is an opportunity to enhance international cooperation, and to strengthen the engagement in the action agenda of governments and real-economy actors. Political signals at the global level can be translated into real-economy transformation, enabled by national legislation.
These are a set of solutions framed in specific actions, with insights from a wide range of non-Party stakeholders on effective measures being undertaken that need to be scaled up and replicated as well as current gaps that need to be bridged to halve global emissions, address adaptation gaps and increase the resilience of 4 billion people from vulnerable groups and communities to climate risks by 2030.
To ensure its implementation, the 2030 Climate Solutions needs to:
Reflects the context and needs of all regions,
Be effective, inclusive, participatory and accountable,
Contribute to providing solutions to the design of the next round of nationally determined contributions (NDCs) and national adaptation plans (NAPs).
To this end, in 2024, the High-Level Champions and the Marrakech Partnership, in close collaboration with the UNFCCC secretariat and its Regional Collaboration Centres (RCCs), conducted a regional consultation survey to identify relevant dimensions for the 2030 Climate Solutions. Regional validation workshops for Latin America and the Caribbean (28 August - virtual), Asia-Pacific (29 August - virtual), and Africa (31 August - hybrid) were also held, bringing together over 250 stakeholders across the regions. Find out more about the outcomes of the workshops (including the presentations and recordings of the workshops) in this summary.
*NEW This regional consultation process has resulted in the publication of "Truly Global: A Regional Outlook on the 2030 Climate Solutions", looking closely at who
is delivering this critical agenda across Africa, Asia, and Latin America and the Caribbean, the priorities they have set to transform each system, the barriers they face in doing so and the actions they recommend to accelerate system transformation. The report offers invaluable insights into the priorities identified by regional stakeholders and analyses how these priorities compare with current NDCs and NAPs in the region, providing opportunities for implementation or better alignment in the next round of national plans.
