High-Level Champions' Newsletter for COP28
Decisions from Dubai: A just 1.5°C transition,
the Global Goal on Adaptation, climate finance and nature all at the heart
of first Global Stocktake outcome
The COP28 outcome made it clearer than ever
that we must transition away from fossil fuels in a just and equitable
manner. It also underscored the importance of the global goal on adaptation
in strengthening resilience and reducing vulnerability to climate change, as
well as the vital importance to protect and restore nature. The need for
enhanced support and finance for developing countries was flagged as a
critical enabler of climate action.
The political declarations at COP28, the
strong leadership and calls to action by non-State actors, and the
negotiated response to the Global Stocktake send a strong signal to the
world.
The outcome has also shown the importance of
collaboration and continued contributions from cities, businesses, youth and
Indigenous Peoples to turn promises into action and meaningful progress.
Now these signals must be translated into real
economy transformation, reflected in updated nationally-determined
contributions (NDCs), and supported by legislation and effective climate
action at all levels.
The COP28 decisions set out a to-do list for
Parties and partners to work together to achieve deep, rapid and sustained
reductions in greenhouse gas emissions in line with 1.5 °C pathways, making
an explicit reference for the first time to the need to reduce 43% of GHG
emissions by 2030 and 60% by 2035 relative to the 2019 level.
The outcome also clearly highlighted the
importance of conserving, protecting and restoring nature and ecosystems and
enhancing efforts to halt and reverse deforestation, in line with the
Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework. With the operationalization
of the Loss and Damage Fund with financial support, and the agreement on a
Global Goal on Adaptation, Parties took important first steps to build
resilience and protect the most vulnerable communities.
Importantly, the COP28 events programme and
global stocktake decisions repeatedly emphasized the central role of
non-Party stakeholders. COP28 decisions welcome leadership initiatives by
Parties and non-Party stakeholders, and call clearly for increased
collaboration on the way forward. The outcome text specifically encourages
the High-Level Champions, the Marrakech Partnership and non-Party
stakeholders to consider the outcomes of the first global stocktake in
future work.
Reflecting the emphasis of COP28 on inclusion,
leading Indigenous Peoples, businesses, investors, cities and regions and
youth brought a clear message to Dubai that they stand ready with the
wisdom, capital, solutions, and insights to implement a vision of the future
set out by world leaders.
H.E. Razan Al Mubarak, UN Climate Change
High-Level Champion for COP28 said: “COP28 has delivered a global commitment
to transition away from fossil fuels and conserve and restore nature in
order to limit warming to 1.5 °C. It sets a clear path for Parties and the
real economy to activate around these goals. COP28 has also demonstrated the
importance of inclusivity. We are proud of the leadership of real economy
actors from around the world – including Indigenous People, women, finance,
business, cities and states, youth and civil society – who have built
momentum for this outcome. I am committed to working tirelessly with all of
them to support Parties to turn the declarations and outcomes here at COP28
into action, finance and solutions on the ground.”
Dr. Mahmoud Mohieldin, UN Climate Change
High-Level Champion for COP27 said: “COP28 has built on the successes of
COP27, agreeing on a Global Goal on Adaptation and operationalizing the Loss
and Damage Fund, securing first commitments to it, as well as witnessing a
number of significant financial commitments. It has also clearly called for
a just and equitable transition away from fossil fuels to limit warming to
1.5. These clear political signals and commitments must be translated into
just financial flows to real projects on the ground, especially in
developing countries. Our work during the last two years has helped connect
climate solutions projects with financiers, proving that the solutions are
there. Furthermore, we underscored the need to reform the international
financial architecture and address the multiple debt crises to ensure
climate finance is adequate, accessible and fair. As the facilitator of the
second replenishment process of the Green Climate Fund, I am proud that the
Fund reached a record-breaking funding level. We now need to mobilize the
needed action among both governments and non-State actors to translate the
various commitments and outcomes made at COP28 into real deliverables on the
ground.”
The COP28 Action Agenda was framed around the
vision of the COP28 Presidency, the 2030 goals and solutions in the 2030
Breakthroughs, the Breakthrough Agenda, and the Sharm El Sheikh Adaptation
Agenda. The focus was on driving action from multiple stakeholders towards
the specific, near term, real economy action needed for systemic change and
to urgently close the gap to get on track for a 1.5 degree, resilient,
nature positive future. It is clear that leadership from the real economy
has helped to inform the priorities and outcomes at COP.
Non-State actors at COP28 clearly demonstrated
that they stand ready to deliver a rapid, just, and well-financed transition
towards a net-zero economy. Their leadership and increased ambition, action
and collaboration will be critical to ensuring a strong, action-oriented,
all of society response to take forward the outcomes of COP28 and turn them
into tangible progress.
The High-Level Champions remain committed to
working with all parts of society, and all corners of the economy to turn
political declarations and commitments at COP28 into action, finance and
solutions on the ground.

delivered by real-economy actors.
