About this project
Together Öko-Institut, Wuppertal Institute and NewClimate Institute provided technical and political support to the Global Stocktake (GST) process taking place between 2021 and 2023. In this project, we informed Parties in enhancing their own mitigation efforts in line with the long-term mitigation goals of the Paris Agreement. To accomplish that, we:
- analysed submissions and compiled overviews of the issues relevant to the process at Subsidiary Bodies (SB) sessions and Conferences of the Parties (COP);
- prepared a series of analyses of collective progress using a performance distribution approach, that presents anonymised country information on a graphical format and is made available in an online tool; and
- identified ways in which the results of the GST can inform ambition raising at the national level, in particular the subsequent update of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC).
