  1. Information collection and preparation (GST-ICP): it will focus on gathering, compiling and synthesizing information and preparing for the technical assessment component.

  2. Technical Assessment (GST-TA): it will focus on taking stock of the implementation of the Paris Agreement to assess collective progress towards achieving the purpose and long-term goals of the Paris Agreement, as well as opportunities for enhanced action and support

  3. Consideration of output (GST-CO): it will be the final component of the GST and will focus on discussing the implications of the findings of the technical assessment with a view to achieving the outcome of the global stocktake of informing Parties in updating and enhancing, in a nationally determined manner, their actions and support, in accordance with relevant provisions of the Paris Agreement, as well as in enhancing international cooperation for climate action.

  • The global stocktake of the Paris Agreement (GST) is a process for taking stock of the implementation of the Paris Agreement with the aim to assess the world’s collective progress towards achieving the purpose of the agreement and its long-term goals. The first GST will take place from 2021 to 2023 and the process will be repeated every 5 years thereafter.
  • The outcome of the GST will inform countries on updating and enhancing, in a nationally determined manner, their climate actions and support, as well as on enhancing international cooperation for climate action
