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\u2014mitigation, adaptation, loss and damage, and means of implementation\u2014 in light of equity and the best available scientific information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
