Current long-term climate pledges will fail to achieve the Paris Agreement’s objective of limiting global heating to 1.5°C, and NDCs as well as current and planned policies are insufficient to achieve the pledges. Bridging the ambition gap and achieving these objectives require far-reaching transformation of the energy, urban, industry and land use systems. The Global Stocktake is organised to promote international cooperation on climate and ratchet up national ambition on GHG emission reductions. Meeting the global temperature target requires that research identify technical, economic, political and socio-cultural solutions for national governments and stakeholders and international cooperation on climate, such as the Global Stocktake.
