What is the Action Agenda?
The Action Agenda is the pillar of the Climate Convention that mobilizes voluntary climate action from civil society, businesses, investors, cities, states, and countries to intensify emission reductions, climate adaptation, and the transition to sustainable economies, as set out in the Paris Agreement. The Action Agenda engages actors who do not negotiate agreements yet are essential for putting them into practice.
COP30 Action Agenda Priorities
The COP30 Action Agenda aims to inaugurate a framework capable of mobilizing all actors and efforts to accelerate the implementation of what has already been negotiated, based on the results of the first Global Stocktake (GST-1). The Global Stocktake is the Paris Agreement’s tool that, in 5-year cycles, assesses progress in achieving its goals and guides a global action plan.
The COP30 Presidency proposes translating the results of the Global Stocktake into six major thematic pillars and thirty key objectives, which will be advanced through multiple solutions.
