Global Stocktake UAE dialogue & procedural and logistical elements

The document details the compromise reached at COP30 concerning the scope and output of the UAE dialogue, as well as the procedural disagreements over the role of the IPCC in the Global Stocktake process.

• COP30 negotiations resulted in a compromise for the UAE dialogue: the scope covers all GST1 outcomes with a specific focus on means of implementation, and the output is limited to a factual report to inform GST2, rather than a decision under the CMA.
• Parties disagreed on the role of the IPCC in the GST process; while some pushed for it to be recognized as the 'best available science', the final outcome only recognized the IPCC as being 'critically important for the GST'.
• Regarding procedural and logistical elements, COP30 delivered few concrete changes, though Parties agreed to a longer negotiation phase without adopting an explicit timeline.
• The author expresses concern that the failure to label the IPCC as the 'best available science' may allow fossil fuel industry-supported sources to influence the global stocktake process.
