As concluded by the Global Stocktake under the Paris Agreement, while action to reduce emissions is proceeding, much more effort is required across all fronts to limit global temperature rise to 1.5 or 2 degrees Celsius. Several enabling conditions must also be lined up so that countries can achieve net- zero emissions around the mid-century. Every country must contribute to the best of its capabilities and available resources. All available technologies will be needed, and these should be deployed and combined in the most cost- effective and feasible ways by each nation.
