Overview
The independent Global Stocktake (GST) is a research and communications project driven by think tanks and civil society to raise the aspirations of parties to the Paris Agreement. It provides an independent analysis, highlighting the differences between what countries have pledged, what they are actually doing, and what needs to be done to meet the goal of keeping global temperature increases well below 2 C, as set under the Paris treaty. The GST will be one input when countries submit their national determined commitments to meet the Paris goals in 2025. (Substrategy: Multilateral)

Grants to this Grantee
for general operating support  
ClimateWorks Foundation works to address climate change and advance clean energy and a prosperous economy. They pursue a global approach to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, aimed at energy sectors and regions with high or fast-growing levels of greenhouse gas pollution. Among their priorities are increasing clean, renewable energy sources; promoting energy efficiency; supporting work on clean transportation; and reducing deforestation and emissions of highly potent greenhouse gases. ClimateWorks will also continue working to increase philanthropic capacity in the field. (Substrategy: Philanthropic Capacity)
for the global industrial decarbonization program  
ClimateWorks Foundation works to address climate change and advance clean energy and a prosperous economy. This grant will support its Industry Program’s efforts to reduce industrial GHG emissions to zero in high-income countries by 2050 and in middle- and lower-income countries by 2060. To achieve this goal, all the key components of the transition must be fully commercialized and ready to be rapidly scaled up by 2030, including the technologies and the social and economic systems to support clean production, demand reduction, and the transition away from fossil-based production practices. This grant will enable ClimateWorks to work with partners globally to set the policy, commercial, technological, and social foundations for deep decarbonization from 2030, through initial steps to reduce industrial GHG emissions during the 2020s. (Substrategy: Industry)
for the fertilizer program  
This grant will support a ClimateWorks Foundation project to address emissions from fertilizer, which represent about 5% of total global emissions annually, and which are expected to grow as much as an additional 50% by 2050. ClimateWorks will help develop a global strategy to reduce GHG emissions from fertilizers by 80% by 2050. It will focus on supporting increased nitrogen use efficiency, increasing access to low-emission fertilizer alternatives (particularly for low- and middle-income countries), and building a global philanthropic roadmap for fertilizer emissions reduction.
