As the first GST is to be concluded at COP28, one important consideration is the involvement of Non-State Actors (NSAs) in the post-GST activities. The independent Global Stocktake (iGST) Regional Hubs in Southeast Asia and West Africa have been actively contributing to the first GST processes, including submission of inputs based on regional assessments and participation in technical discussion of inputs.
In this session, we aim to explore how NSAs and state actors can effectively collaborate and align their efforts during the post-stage of this first GST to have more ambitious climate action at the next round of nationally determined contributions (NDCs).

The independent Global Stocktake (iGST) Southeast Asia Hub (SEA Hub) aims to provide a platform to make NSAs’ voices and activities in Southeast Asia more visible in the GST process. This is a joint effort led by IGES and the Institute for Climate and Sustainable Cities (ICSC) with support from the ClimateWorks Foundation. The ClimateWorks Foundation runs iGST, a consortium of civil society actors working together to support the GST.
