Background:
The slideshow of the opening meeting can be found here.
The first GST is unfolding in a critical decade for climate action. It will end in 2023 and is designed to have a key role to set the course for further ambitious climate action and support, providing an opportunity to focus the global climate engagement on implementation r climate action.
TD1.2 will take place during the first week of COP27 in Sharm el Sheikh, from 6 to 12 November 2022. It will be a space for open and direct conversations. Our aim is to develop a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of collective progress made under the Paris Agreement. Based on this understanding, we hope to provide forward looking for signals that can inform ambitious climate action and support, as well as enhanced international cooperation for climate action.
In part, this could be enabled through our discussions at the Technical Dialogue to identify good practice and opportunities for enhanced actions and support and find creative ways to overcome barriers and challenges to climate action, in the light of equity and ambition, and informed by the best available science.
