Report on the first global dialogue under the Sharm el-Sheikh mitigation ambition and implementation work programme is now available HERE.

Background

In November 2021, by Decision 1/CMA3, para. 27, Parties established a work programme to urgently scale up mitigation ambition and implementation in this critical decade in a manner that complements the global stocktake. 

In November 2022, by Decision 4/CMA.4, Parties agreed Mitigation work programme to: 

  • start immediately after the COP27/CMA4 and continue until its eighth session (2026), with a view to adopting a decision on the continuation of the work programme at that session
  • be carried out under the Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to the Paris Agreement (CMA) 
  • be implemented under the guidance of the two co-chairs appointed every two years by the Chairs of the SBSTA and SBI 
  • hold at least two global dialogues every year and investment-focused events 

The co-chairs decide the topics of each dialogue by 1 March based on submissions received by 1 February. Parties, observers and other non-Party stakeholders are invited to submit their views on opportunities, best practices, actionable solutions, challenges and barriers relevant to the topics of the dialogues via the submission portal four weeks before each dialogue. 

First Global Dialogue and Investment-Focused Event (Decision 4/CMA.4, para 8 and 11) under the Sharm el-Sheikh Mitigation Ambition and Implementation Work Programme (MWP) took place from 3 to 5 June, 2023 in Bonn.
