Africa GST Project: Africa’s engagement in the Global Stocktake
The first global stocktake under the Paris Agreement will conclude at CoP 28 in Dubai, with a technical process since 2022. African participation is limited due to capacity constraints. The Africa GST Project aims to enhance African perspectives and address challenges identified in a status quo analysis. It emphasizes the importance of international cooperation and raising ambition levels to bridge the ‘implementation gap.’ The Africa GST Project will publish further outputs before CoP 28 to advance African priorities in the global stocktake process.

A similar approach could enhance the Global Stocktake’s effectiveness in identifying collaboration priorities.
