Regional GST: Impacts, Challenges and Opportunities

The collectiveness of the Global Stocktake (GST) is about inclusivity and collaboration in assessing global climate action efforts and monitoring progress towards the goals of the Paris Agreement. The webinar explored the increasing acknowledgement of the significance of non-state actors (NSAs) involvement in the GST process.

NSAs play a crucial role in translating GST outputs into regional and national contexts, providing concrete actions and support for countries in the region. By incorporating the perspectives, experiences, and technical knowledge of NSAs, we can bridge information gaps, enhance the acceptability and effectiveness of the GST results, and bolster countries' climate action efforts towards achieving their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs).

The independent Global Stocktake (iGST) aims to support GST through regional collaboration among NSAs. Join us to hear from representatives from the iGST regional hub in Latin America, West Africa and Southeast Asia, who will share the integral role of NSAs in accelerating collective ambition for future NDC updating.

About the Independent Global Stocktake

The Independent Global Stocktake (iGST) is a multi-pronged umbrella initiative featuring four thematic working groups (with two co-chairs each), three regional hubs, and other partners participating in an evolving, fit-for-purpose structure. Established by the Climateworks Foundation (CWF), the iGST works together to support the Global Stocktake (GST), the formal process established under the Paris Agreement to periodically take stock of collective progress toward its long term goals.

The Regional Hubs

The regional hubs of the iGST aims to provide a platform to amplify the voices of non-state actors in the region in GST processes, and provide feedback for respective countries in updating their climate commitments or Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs).

The Southeast Asia Hub (iGST SEA Hub) is led by IGES and Philippine-based Institute for Climate and Sustainable Cities (ICSC). SEA Hub focuses on similar and shared adaptation- and mitigation-related issues in facing climate change impacts, such as the energy transition, forestry and land use, ecosystem-based adaptation, agriculture, and disaster risk management.
