POLITICAL OUTPUT
Highlight bold, systems transformations
across sectors
Accelerate finance and capacity building
to a scale commensurate with needs
Catalyze an adequate adaptation
response, including the necessary support
Unequivocal signals to raise ambition,
including but not limited to 2025 NDCs
GST political priorities must be
right-sized to be unambiguous and
actionable in the near-term, but
impactful enough to supercharge
our transition toward a safer future
while leaving no one behind.
To remain legitimate, they must
balance outcomes across
mitigation, finance, adaptation,
and loss and damage and
maintain an equity frame.
Improved accountability mechanisms for
countries and non-state actors
Reconsider institutional arrangements to
enhance international cooperation
