Cities Delivering on the Global Stocktake and Global Goal on Adaptation
For policymakers, this brief reframes cities as execution platform that can translate national climate ambition into measurable delivery. It is relevant because it links governance design, finance allocation, and sectoral implementation to near-term climate outcomes that ministers and negotiators can actually influence.
This technical report underscores that, ten years after the Paris Agreement, the Global Stocktake (GST) confirms that global progress remains insufficient and identifies multilevel governance as the most effective strategy for closing the implementation gap.
It further demonstrates that cities are already delivering many of the solutions called for by the GST, including:
- Tripling renewable energy capacity and doubling energy efficiency
- Reducing non-CO2 emissions through waste management policies
- Addressing the urgent need to reduce emissions from road transport

Este informe técnico subraya que, a diez años del Acuerdo de París, el Balance Global (GST) confirma que el progreso mundial es insuficiente, identificando la **gobernanza multinivel** como la estrategia más eficaz para cerrar la brecha de implementación.
Asimismo, demuestra que las ciudades ya están implementando muchas de las soluciones que exige el GST, entre ellas:
- Triplicar la capacidad de energías renovables y duplicar la eficiencia energética
- Reducir las emisiones de gases distintos del CO2, mediante políticas de gestión de residuos
- Abordar la urgente necesidad de reducir las emisiones del transporte por carretera.
