FCCC/PA/CMA/2025/L.24
Also recalling Article 2, paragraph 2, of the Paris Agreement, which provides that the
Agreement will be implemented to reflect equity and the principle of common but
differentiated responsibilities and respective capabilities, in the light of different national
circumstances,
Further recalling Article 14, paragraph 1, of the Paris Agreement, which provides that the
Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to the Paris Agreement shall
periodically take stock of the implementation of the Agreement to assess the collective
progress towards achieving its purpose and long-term goals, and that it shall do so in a
comprehensive and facilitative manner, considering mitigation, adaptation and means of
implementation and support, and in the light of equity and the best available science,
Recalling Article 14, paragraph 3, of the Paris Agreement, which provides that the outcome
of the global stocktake shall inform Parties in updating and enhancing, in a nationally
determined manner, their actions and support in accordance with the relevant provisions of
the Agreement, as well as in enhancing international cooperation for climate action,
Also recalling decision 1/CMA.5, on the outcome of the first global stocktake,
Underlining the critical role of multilateralism based on United Nations values and
principles, including in the context of the implementation of the Convention and the Paris
Agreement, and the importance of international cooperation for addressing global issues,
including climate change, in the context of sustainable development and efforts to eradicate
poverty,
Also underlining the urgent need to address, in a comprehensive and synergetic manner, the
interlinked global crises of climate change, biodiversity loss, and land and ocean degradation
in the broader context of achieving sustainable development, as well as the vital importance
of protecting, conserving, restoring and sustainably using and managing nature and
terrestrial, marine and mountainous ecosystems for effective and sustainable climate action,
Stressing the important role and active engagement of non-Party stakeholders, particularly
civil society, business, financial institutions, cities and subnational authorities at multiple
levels, Indigenous Peoples, local communities, people of African descent, women, youth and
children, and research institutions, in supporting Parties and contributing to the significant
collective progress towards the long-term goals of the Paris Agreement and in addressing and
responding to climate change and enhancing ambition and implementation, including
progress through other relevant intergovernmental processes,
Recalling with concern the pre-2020 gaps in both the mitigation ambition and
implementation of developed country Parties and that the Intergovernmental Panel on
Climate Change had previously indicated that developed countries must reduce emissions by
25–40 per cent below the 1990 level by 2020, which was not achieved,
Also recalling with concern that the carbon budget consistent with achieving the Paris
Agreement temperature goal is now small and being rapidly depleted and acknowledging that
historical cumulative net carbon dioxide emissions account for at least four fifths of the total
carbon budget for a 50 per cent probability of limiting global warming to 1.5 °C,
Recalling that, despite progress, global greenhouse gas emissions trajectories are not yet in
line with the Paris Agreement temperature goal, and that there is a rapidly narrowing window
for raising ambition and implementing existing commitments in order to achieve it,
Recognizing that limiting global warming to 1.5 °C with no or limited overshoot requires
deep, rapid and sustained reductions in global greenhouse gas emissions of 43 per cent by
2030 and 60 per cent by 2035 relative to the 2019 level and reaching net zero carbon dioxide
emissions by 2050,
Welcoming the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Belém as the “COP of Truth”,
restoring trust and hope in the fight against climate change by bringing science, equity and
political determination together, promoting information integrity and strengthening
multilateralism, connecting the process with people on the ground and accelerating the
implementation of the Paris Agreement,
