Global Stocktake governance and facilitation
GST technical assessment

Governance of the Global Stocktake

The governance of the GST consists of four levels:

  • The CMA has the overall responsibility to conduct the GST.
  • The SBSTA and SBI are mandated to assist the CMA in conducting the global stocktake, especially with regards to the technical assessment component through the technical dialogue and the Joint Contact Group.
  • The technical dialogue, which will be focused, transparent and facilitative in nature and will allow Parties to engage and discuss with constituted bodies and forums and other institutional arrangements under or serving the Paris Agreement and/or the Convention and experts to consider inputs and assess collective efforts. The dialogue will be facilitated by two co-facilitators, each from a developing and developed country, and will be guided by questions to be developed by the SBSTA and SBI Chairs on each thematic area and cross-cutting.
  • A High-Level Committee consisting of the CMA Presidencies and the Chairs of the SBSTA and SBI will chair the high level events of the GST-CO.
