Collective assessment of adaptation from the first to the second Global Stocktake: state of play
The Paris Agreement establishes the Global Stocktake as a periodic mechanism to determine collective progress toward achieving long-term goals. The Global Stocktake is a facilitative process that involves all components of the Agreement—mitigation, adaptation, loss and damage, and means of implementation— in light of equity and the best available scientific information. At the same time, the Paris Agreement establishes a set of key aspects regarding the collective assessment of adaptation progress in the Global Stocktake in Article 7.14. However, the first Global Stocktake (GST1) highlighted the persistent political and technical obstacles that marginalize adaptation in international climate governance. Specifically, the fundamental mandates of this Article faced significant implementation dilemmas, resulting in a limited depth of this collective assessment of adaptation. There is a risk that these scenarios will be repeated in the second Global Stocktake (GST2), which begins this year. This synthesis report is part of a project by Argentina 1.5 and supported by the Adaptation Research Alliance that seeks to strengthen the understanding of the gaps identified in GST1, paying special attention to the mandates on adaptation, with a view to generating evidence-based proposals from Latin America and the Caribbean towards GST2.

Perspectives on the operationalization of the Santiago Network
Argentina 1.5ºC has prepared this synthesis report of the submissions presented by various actors to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change regarding the implementation of the Santiago Network. The information is organized according to the main elements of the call for submissions under Decisions 19/CMA.3 and 17/CP.26: operational modalities; structure; the role of the Executive Committee of the Warsaw International Mechanism on Loss and Damage, its expert groups, task force, and technical groups; contact points for loss and damage and other key actors; and potential elements of the Network's Terms of Reference.
