Sharm el-Sheikh mitigation ambition and implementation work program
In November 2021, Decision 1/CMA3, para. 27 established a work program to scale up mitigation ambition and implementation this decade, complementing the global stocktake. In November 2022, Decision 4/CMA.4 specified that the program would start after COP27 and run until 2026, with a possible extension. Overseen by the CMA, it is led by two co-chairs appointed every two years and holds at least two global dialogues and investment-focused events annually. Topics are set by March 1 based on submissions received by February 1. Parties, observers, and stakeholders can submit views four weeks before each dialogue.
