Introduction

The research dialogue  provides a forum between the scientific community, Parties and non-Party stakeholders to convey research findings and lessons learned and discuss needs for research and research capacity building, particularly those of developing countries, to support the implementation of the UNFCCC and the Paris Agreement. Themes for each meeting of the dialogue are guided by submissions, as well as the mandates and ongoing work under the UNFCCC. Information on previous meetings of the research dialogue is available online.

Theme

Taking into account the submissions of Parties and relevant organizations for 16th Research Dialogue (RD) by 14 March 2024, ongoing activities under the Convention and the Paris Agreement, previous themes of the RD, this year’s RD focused on the development of new nationally determined contributions (NDCs), in particular how to transition to low-emission and resilient development reflecting the outcome of the first global stocktake (GST) and synergies and trade-offs with sustainable development.

Agenda

Following short presentations, Parties, research organizations and observers are invited to engage with experts and each other and to make interventions from the floor, including on their regional and/or national research as well as research needs.
