Thought Starter on the Implementation of Paragraph 28(d) of the First Global Stocktake

This briefing identifies the three mutually reinforcing pillars of action to operationalise Paragraph 28(d) of GST-1:

• (i) monitoring and reporting;
• (ii) national action; and
• (iii) financial and technical assistance.

Unlike the predominant approach to climate mitigation, which tend to be emissions-based, implementation of paragraph 28(d) of the GST-1 should focus on transitioning the sources of energy, from fossil fuels to renewables, across the economy through planning and investment.
