India Urges Balanced Approach to Future Global Stocktake Under Paris pact

16 Oct 2025 CW Team

At the breakout session on the Global Stocktake (GST) during the Pre-CoP30 meetings in Brasilia on 13 October, Union Minister for Environment, Forest and Climate Change, Shri Bhupender Yadav, congratulated the world on successfully concluding the first GST, describing it as a strong affirmation of earnest implementation of the Paris Agreement.

He explained that GST is a five-year cycle to assess collective progress against the Paris goals. It is intended to bolster ambition by enabling Parties to evaluate shared advances, identify remaining gaps, and guide enhanced action at national and international levels.

In his address, Shri Yadav characterised the GST as a key driver of the Paris framework—fostering political momentum and sustaining dynamic efforts toward higher ambition. He urged that ongoing dialogues should incorporate the GST’s insights to catalyse cooperation and climate action.

Looking ahead, the Minister cautioned against rushing to embed scientific assessments without careful deliberation of their global relevance. He emphasised that science must be pursued with rigour, accuracy and robustness, drawing on all pertinent sources.

“We must now shift our emphasis to implementing ambitious climate measures, and above all, address the critical lack of resources for developing countries to deliver adaptation and mitigation,” he asserted. “Dialogue is important, but action is imperative.”
