Aprovechando la Investigación para la Ambición Climática y la Transparencia

The report details the proceedings of the 4th GCPC, highlighting the critical need for a science-policy interface amidst rising populism and funding cuts. It identifies governance and finance as overarching challenges, while specifically examining urban adaptation, land use coordination, trade regulations under WTO norms, and the necessity of a just energy transition in the Global South.

• Governance is identified as a primary cross-cutting challenge, with a specific need to build effective institutions capable of managing contentious decisions across different scales. The report notes that local and state governments often lack the technical and administrative capacity to implement diverse initiatives such as urban planning and renewable energy deployment.
• Lack of institutional integration, particularly regarding land use in Latin America, creates confusion over jurisdictional responsibilities and undermines transparency and accountability. This fragmentation is linked to a higher potential for corruption, which is viewed as a central barrier to the effective application of internal climate policies.
• Climate finance needs to be significantly increased to catalyze necessary transformations. Key areas requiring more funding include South-South cooperation, the diversification of beneficiaries to include cities and municipalities instead of only federal governments, and a shift toward programmatic support rather than isolated individual projects.
• Urban climate action in the Global South is shifting toward nature-based adaptation to build resilience against water-related extreme weather and moving from reactive disaster response to proactive risk management and vulnerability analysis.
• There is a tension between climate mitigation policies, such as carbon border adjustments, and the non-discrimination norms of the World Trade Organization (WTO). The report suggests using Sustainable Development Goal 12 and full life-cycle analysis of embedded emissions as potential frameworks to integrate trade and climate concerns.
• The transition to low-carbon energy systems must address potential social inequalities and conflicts. There is an urgent political need to develop strategies for 'just transitions' to ensure that the shift to cleaner energy does not exacerbate social disparities.
