Urban Agenda in Mitigation Work Programme (MWP) and COP29

November 13, 2024

As we await the unfolding of the upcoming COP 29, there is uncertainty around the possible outcomes of the political negotiations on the Mitigation Work Programme (MWP) which is one of the key negotiation tracks this time to up the mitigation ambition to achieve the 1.5°C goal of the Paris Agreement. It is expected that this will also complement the global stock take.

 Since the mooting of the MWP in the COP 26 Glasgow climate pact, the Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to the Paris Agreement (CMA) had decided that at least two Global Dialogues on key thematic areas that MWP is addressing would be held each year as part of the Sharm el-Sheikh mitigation ambition and implementation work programme.
