Transformative mitigation actions as an outcome of the Global Stocktake

The briefing asserts that current Nationally Determined Contributions are collectively insufficient to meet Paris Agreement temperature goals, necessitating that the Global Stocktake provide clear, sector-specific mitigation actions and targets. It proposes a comprehensive list of actions—including phasing out fossil fuels and subsidies, boosting renewables, and decarbonizing industry—to inform the 2030 and 2035 time horizons. The author suggests these outputs be integrated into the CMA cover decision or technical annexes and provide a structured guidance framework for Parties to update their NDCs with achievable targets aligned with IPCC emission reduction goals.

• Current mitigation actions implemented and proposed in Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) are collectively inadequate to maintain the Paris Agreement's temperature goal.
• The Global Stocktake should include a specific set of mitigation actions, including the phase-out of fossil fuels and their subsidies, increasing wind and solar supply, enhancing energy efficiency, electrifying transport, decarbonizing industry, promoting circular material flows, reducing methane emissions, stopping deforestation, and establishing sustainable food systems.
• Mitigation messages must address the 2030 and 2035 time horizons, aligning with IPCC findings that greenhouse gas emissions must be reduced by 43% and 60% respectively compared to 2019 levels.
• The Global Stocktake should offer a guidance process for Parties to update NDCs, involving the assessment of action feasibility, the setting of achievable targets, and the alignment of actions with long-term strategies and finance flows.
