The report evaluates the Biden Administration's efforts to prioritize climate security across four pillars: leadership, risk assessment, international partnerships, and resilience/prevention. While it notes significant progress in high-level leadership and the publication of risk analyses, it argues that the U.S. must move from planning to execution, specifically by increasing funding for resilient infrastructure, improving climate forecasting, and mainstreaming climate security within the State Department and military engagements.

The document reports that while commodity-driven deforestation rates have declined since 2016, the original 2020 target for ending agriculture-driven deforestation was not met. It highlights significant gaps in corporate commitments, particularly in Latin America's beef and soy sectors, and a lack of comprehensive policies among major financial institutions. While technological tools and jurisdictional approaches are gaining traction, the brief calls for stronger government due diligence policies and increased private sector transparency to drive transformational change.

The report details WWF's strategic efforts to reverse the decline of wild tigers through political advocacy, landscape-scale conservation, and community-centered approaches. Key achievements include the development of the Conservation Assured Tiger Standards (CA|TS), the implementation of the 'Safe Systems' approach to human-wildlife conflict, and the creation of the Coalition to End Wildlife Trafficking Online. While global tiger numbers have shown an upward trend, the report warns that gains are fragile and uneven, with severe declines continuing in Southeast Asia due to snaring. WWF highlights the co-benefits of tiger conservation, including carbon sequestration and water provisioning, and outlines future goals such as the first international tiger reintroduction in Kazakhstan by 2025.

Key initiatives include the 'Be Bold' campaign for SDG7 and the Universal Energy Facility, which aims to provide 2 million new energy connections and displace 1 million fossil-fuel generators by 2023. Additionally, it notes a USD 1 billion fund established by the IKEA Foundation and The Rockefeller Foundation for distributed renewable energy.

The first progress report for Tonga's JNAP2 evaluates the integration of 92 climate and disaster risk activities into ministry corporate plans and their implementation status. While most activities are integrated—particularly those related to resilience-building actions (79%) and financing (76%)—the report identifies significant capacity gaps in procedures and skills. Key recommendations include prioritising sector vulnerability assessments, developing GESI-factored resilience plans, and investing in meteorological infrastructure like Doppler radar.

The Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) is undergoing an organizational transformation to center justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion (JEDI) following a 2020 racial reckoning. The organization has identified that previous decentralized efforts failed to address structural inequities for BIPOC staff and that rapid growth outpaced its human resource capacity. To address this, UCS is integrating racial equity into its technical analysis and policy advocacy, recruiting diverse leadership, and establishing a dedicated JEDI office and Advisory Committee. Key goals include promoting equitable outcomes for overburdened communities and redefining a unified organizational vision to better integrate science with JEDI principles.

The document details the progress of the WTO's Informal Working Group (IWG) on MSMEs, highlighting a set of six recommendations adopted in December 2020 to improve transparency, trade facilitation, and access to finance. It extensively analyzes the disproportionate negative impact of COVID-19 on MSMEs, particularly those led by women, and outlines national and international policy responses. Future goals include the launch of the 'Trade4MSMEs' platform and further exploration of digitalization and cybersecurity.

The GEC Steering Group met to discuss 'Building the Coalition', a strategic pathway aimed at transitioning from a UK-led hub to a distributed global network of autonomous hubs. The group emphasized organic growth, the need for sustainable resourcing, and the importance of maintaining collective integrity while decentralizing. The meeting also reviewed five strategic priorities for 2021, noting that green recovery, inequality approaches, and SME policy networks are progressing, while the network function is marked as 'amber' due to delays. The group agreed to rename the network development task force to a 'reflection and learning group'.
