the Glasgow - Sharm el-Sheikh work program on the global goal on adaptation;
 

33. Welcomes the progress made in year one of the two-year Glasgow-Sharm el-Sheikh
work programme on the global goal on adaptation, as outlined in the progress report of the
subsidiary bodies; and looks forward to the conclusion of the Glasgow-Sharm el-Sheikh work
programme on the global goal on adaptation at COP28 and notes the robust program of work
for 2023 laid out in decision -/CMA.4;
 

34. Stresses on the urgency to fulfil the mandate of having a clear global goal on
adaptation to guide the provision of finance and means of implementation from developed to
developing countries to reduce the risk of climate change impacts;
 

35. Reiterates the call made by the United Nations Secretary-General on World
Meteorological Day 2022 to ensure that everyone on Earth is protected by early warning
systems against extreme weather and climate events;
 

36. Notes with concern the existing gaps in the global climate observing system, and that
one third of the world, including sixty percent of Africa, does not have access to early
warning and climate information services, and recognizes the need to enhance the
coordination of activities by the systematic observation community and improve its ability
to provide useful and actionable climate information for mitigation, adaptation and early
warning systems, as well as information to enable understanding of adaptation limits and of
attribution of extreme events;
 

37. Welcomes and reiterates the UN Secretary-General call made on World
Meteorological Day on 23 March 2022 to protect everyone on Earth through universal
coverage of early warning systems against extreme weather and climate change within the
next five years; and requests the development partners, international financial institutions
and operating entities of the financial mechanism to provide support for implementation of
this initiative;
{Loss and damage}
 

38. Welcomes the Parties’ agreement for the first time to include a sub-agenda item titled
“Matters related to funding arrangements responding to loss and damage associated with the
adverse effects of climate change including a focus on addressing loss and damage” under
agenda item titled “matters related to finance” under COP and CMA, as a reflection of the
wide global consensus around the grave situation in relation to loss and damage and the need
for effective funding arrangements related to responding to loss and damage in particular
addressing loss and damage;
 

39. Notes with great concern, as documented by the IPCC 6th AR WG II and WG III
reports, the growing gravity, scope and frequency of loss and damage in all regions, and that
loss and damage associated with the adverse effects of climate change take the form of
extreme weather events as well as slow onset events, and result in devastating economic and
non-economic losses including through its impact on cultural heritage, human mobility and
forced displacement and the lives and livelihoods of local communities, and underlines in
this regard that an adequate and effective response to loss and damage is of great importance
to the continue credibility and relevance of the UNFCCC process;
 

40. Expresses deep concern towards the significant financial costs associated with loss
and damage for developing countries, resulting in increasing the burden of indebtedness and
impairing the realization of the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals;
 

41. Welcomes the Parties’ agreement on all the institutional arrangements of the Santiago  Network for averting, minimizing and addressing loss and damage associated with the
adverse effects of climate change to enable its full operationalization, supports its mandated
role in catalyzing technical assistance for the implementation of the relevant approaches at
6
the local, national and regional levels in developing countries that are particularly vulnerable
to the adverse effects of climate change, and renews their determination to select the host of
the Santiago Network Secretariat by 2023 through a selection process which is conducted in
an open, transparent, fair and neutral manner in accordance with the process outlined in
paragraphs 17-18 of CMA/**** COP/****;
 

42. {Placeholder funding arrangement responding to loss and damage};
{Implementation - Just Transition Pathways}
 

43. Emphasizes the urgent need for immediate, deep, rapid and sustained reductions in
global greenhouse gas emissions by Parties across all sectors, in order to limit global warming
to 1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels; and highlights the importance of ensuring and enabling
just transition for developing countries;
 

44. Affirms that sustainable and just solutions to the climate crisis must be founded on
meaningful and effective social dialogue and participation of all stakeholders, and notes that
the global transition to low emissions provides opportunities and challenges for sustainable
economic development and poverty eradication;
 

45. Emphasizes that just and equitable transition encompasses pathways which include
energy, socio-economic, workforce and other dimensions, all of which must be based on
nationally defined development priorities and include social protection dimensions to
mitigate potential impacts associated with the transition, and highlights the important role of
the instruments and measures related to social solidarity and social protection floors in
mitigating the impacts resulting from the applied measures;
 

46. Decides to establish a work program on just transition to discuss pathways to deliver
on article 2.1 of the Paris Agreement in the context of article 2.2 and requests the Subsidiary
Body for Implementation and the Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice
to recommend a draft decision on this matter for consideration and adoption by the
Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to the Paris Agreement at its
fifth session, in a manner that builds on and compliments the relevant work streams under
the Convention and the Paris Agreement, including the Mitigation work program;
 

47. Decides to convene an annual high-level ministerial round table on just transition, as
part of the just transition work program beginning at the fifth session of the Conference of
the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to the Paris Agreement;
{Finance}
 

48. Reiterates articles 2, 4 and 9 of the Paris Agreement; and highlights that about $4
trillion a year needs to be invested in renewable energy until 2030 – including investments
in technology and infrastructure – to allow us to reach net-zero emissions by 2050.
Furthermore, a global transformation to a low-carbon economy is expected to require
investments of at least USD 4-6 trillion a year. Delivering such funding will require a
transformation of the financial system and its structures and processes, engaging
governments, central banks, commercial banks, institutional investors and other financial
actors;
 

49. Notes with concern the growing gap between the needs of developing country Parties,
in particular due to the increasing impacts of climate change and increased indebtedness, and
the support provided and mobilized to complement their efforts to implement their nationally
determined contributions, highlighting that current estimates of such needs are in the scale of
5.6 trillion USD up to 2030, while the global annual flows to developing countries;
 

50. Expresses grave concern that the goal of developed country Parties to mobilize jointly
USD 100 billion per year by 2020 has not yet been met and urges developed country Parties
to meet the goal and address the shortfall to $100 billion since 2020;
 

51. Emphasizes that accelerated financial support for developing countries from
developed countries and other sources is a critical enabler to enhance mitigation action and
7
address inequities in access to finance, including its costs, terms and conditions, and
economic vulnerability to climate change for developing countries. Scaled-up public grants
for mitigation and adaptation funding for vulnerable regions, especially in Sub-Saharan
Africa, would be cost-effective and have high social returns in terms of access to basic energy;
 

52. Notes that global climate finance flows are small relative to the overall needs of
developing countries. Global climate finance in 2019–2020 was estimated to be USD 803
billion. This amount is 31–32 per cent of the annual investment needed for the global
temperature rise to follow a well below 2 °C or a 1.5 °C pathway. This level of climate finance
is also below what one would expect in the light of the investment opportunities identified
and the cost of failure to meet climate stabilization targets;
 

53. Notes the important role of technology transfer in enhancing climate action and that
capacity gaps and needs still exist in developing countries;
 

54. Urges developed country Parties to provide enhanced support, including through
financial resources, technology transfer and capacity-building, to assist developing country
Parties with respect to both mitigation and adaptation, in continuation of their existing
obligations under the Convention, and encourages other Parties to provide or continue to
provide such support voluntarily;
 

55. Calls on MDBs and IFIs to align and scale up funding, ensure simplified access,
mobilize climate finance from various sources, and encourages the shareholders of MDBs to
define a new vision and commensurate operational model, channels and instruments that fitfor-purpose to adequately address the global climate emergency; including deploying full
suit of instruments from grants to guarantees and non debt instruments, without exacerbating
debt burdens, and address the conservative risk appetites and limited scale of capitalization
towards increasing their deployment on climate finance three folds up to 2025;
 

56. Calls on multilateral development banks to reform their practices and priorities, in
order to reduce the cost of borrowing for climate projects in developing countries and to
increase their investment into adaptation financing and urges MDBs to align their operations
with the Paris Agreement on Climate Change, and climate change emergency;
 

57. Urges the ad hoc work programme on the new collective quantified goal to produce
more efficient and operational results by 2023;
 

58. Calls on multilateral development banks to significantly increase climate ambition
using the breadth of their policy and financial instruments for greater results including on
private capital mobilization;
 

59. Calls on multilateral development banks to ensure higher financial efficiency and
maximize use of existing concessional and risk capital vehicles to drive innovation and
accelerate impact;

61. {Placeholder for relevant outcomes from the ongoing negotiations};
 

62. Recognizes the centrality of the role of the adaptation fund in the climate finance
architecture , and in this regard welcomes the new pledges made at COP27, and urges all
contributors to fulfil their pledges in a timely manner, and invites the contributors to ensure
the sustainability of the resources of the fund;
 

63. Highlights the role of the LDCF and SCCF in supporting developing countries actions
to tackle climate change and in this regard welcomes the pledges made to the two funds and
invites developed countries to further contribute to the two funds;
8
 

64. Emphasizes the ongoing challenges faced by many developing country Parties in
accessing climate finance and encourages further efforts, including by the operating entities
of the Financial Mechanism, to simplify access to such finance; Article 2.1(c) of the Paris
Agreement;
 

65. Decides to establish the Sharm el-Sheikh dialogue between Parties, relevant
organizations and stakeholders to exchange views and enhance the understanding of the
scope of article 2.1.c and its complementarity with article 9 to take place in 2023 through two
workshops and in this regard requests the COP27 Presidency to prepare a report on the
deliberations of the workshops, and requests the secretariat to organize the workshops;
 

66. Develops a roadmap for the delivery of the committed doubling of adaptation finance
by 2025, including individual developed country annual information;
 

67. Reaffirms the commitment of Parties to collaborate on the global climate agenda and
deepen multilateral cooperation and solidarity in addressing climate change;
 

68. Welcomes the adoption of decisions -/ CMA.4,13
-/ CMA.4,14 and -/ CMA.4,15 on
issues relating to Article 6 of the Paris Agreement;
 

69. Notes the work undertaken by ICAO and IMO to implement their respective mandates
with regard to greenhouse gas emissions;
 

70. Welcomes the outcomes of and key messages16 from the dialogue on the ocean and
climate change17 held on 15 June 2022;
 

71. Also welcomes the outcomes of the 2022 United Nations Ocean Conference on 27
June to 1 July 2022 and the adoption of the Lisbon Declaration on 1 July 2022;
 

72. Decides that the annual Ocean and Climate Change dialogue will, from 2023, be
facilitated by two co-facilitators, selected by Parties, and invites the SBSTA Chair, in
coordination with the co-facilitators, to select and define focused thematic areas in advance
of the dialogue, in consultation with Parties and observers, including on progress of
UNFCCC work programmes and constituted bodies to integrate and strengthen ocean-based
action (as invited in 1/CP.26 para 60);
 

73. Encourages Parties to consider, as appropriate, ocean-based climate solutions in
taking action to achieve their climate goals, as set out in nationally determined contributions,
long-term low-emission development strategies and national reports such as biennial
transparency reports and adaptation communications;
 

74. Recognises the impact of climate change on the cryosphere and the need for further
understanding of these impacts, including of tipping points;
 

75. Urges developed country Parties to enhance their provision of support, including
finance, technology transfer and capacity-building, to developing country Parties for taking
ocean-based climate action;
 

76. Calls upon multilateral development banks, other financial institutions and the private
sector to enhance the mobilization of finance for ocean-based climate action;
 

77. Urges United Nations entities to promote synergies to support ocean-based climate
action at the national level;
 

78. Recalls that, in the context of the provision of adequate and predictable support to
developing country Parties, Parties should collectively aim to slow, halt and reverse forest
cover and carbon loss, in accordance with national circumstances, consistent with the
ultimate objective of the Convention, as stated in its Article 2;
 

79. Recalls also the IPCC findings that GHG emissions reductions and removals from
forests and land use are essential to all pathways to global net zero and the critical role that
