9. Why is the Global Stocktake at a critical moment before COP28?

Global Stocktaking is a process for countries and stakeholders to see where they are collectively making progress towards meeting the goals of the Paris Climate Change Agreement, and where they are not.

“The Global Stocktake is a critical turning point in our battle against the growing climate crisis, a moment to take a hard look at the state of our planet and chart a better course for the future.”

“The Global Stocktake will end up being just another report unless governments and their representatives can analyze it and, ultimately, understand what it means for them and what they can and should do next.
