The Global Stocktake established in Article 14 of the Paris Agreement aims to “assess the collective progress” towards the agreed goals:

1) holding the increase in global average temperature to well below 2°C and pursuing efforts to limit the increase to 1.5°C;

2) increasing the ability to adapt to the adverse impacts of climate change and foster climate resilience; and

3) making all finance flows consistent with a pathway towards low greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and climate-resilient development.
