Abstract

The Global Stocktake (GST) under the Paris Agreement periodically assesses the collective progress towards achieving the long-term goals of the Agreement. A project commissioned by the German Environment Agency accompanied all phases of the first GST, focussing on the thematic area of mitigation. An analysis of inputs for the GST highlighted that current Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) are insufficient to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in line with pathways consistent with 1.5°C global warming. Collectively, Parties will not achieve their NDC targets with the mitigation actions which are currently implemented and planned. In order to be able to formulate and achieve more ambitious targets, transformative mitigation actions need to be implemented, covering the sectors energy, transport, industry, agriculture, land use and waste. It will be important for policy makers to consider different audiences, channels, messages and tone when communicating the need for such enhanced action.
