The Talanoa Dialogue Synthesis Report and Yearbook for Global Climate Action 2018 – take the pulse of where the world stands on its journey towards full carbon neutrality by mid-century. The Synthesis Report was prepared using submissions to the Talanoa Portal – launched on 10 January 2018 – which received a total of 471 inputs throughout the year, including notably the IPCC’s special report on the impacts of global warming of 1.5 degrees Celsius. It also drew from stories that were presented by government and non-government representatives during the intersessional climate change session held in May 2018.

The Yearbook for Global Climate Action takes account of some 9,000 commitments – spanning cities, regions, businesses, investors and civil society – incorporating 128 countries (16 per cent of the global population), around 240 states and regions and more than 6,000 businesses in 120 countries representing USD 36 trillion in economic activity.
Tomasz Chruszczow, Special Envoy for Climate Change and Poland’s High Level Climate Champion said, “Global Climate Action remains the best response to the challenges of changing climate. 2018’s Yearbook documents how the action can deliver on existing NDCs, on adaptation, mitigation, capacity building, etc. Every climate related initiative, programme or action contributes to laying a solid foundation for the climate neutral, peaceful, climate resilient and sustainable future for all.
Parties and non-Party stakeholders act together and prove that cooperation may lead to more emission reductions, faster delivering on existing NDCs and strengthening of biosystems’ capacity to store atmospheric carbon, while life standards get improved, economies grow and the nations approach all the goals of the Paris Agreement in an accelerated manner. The examples from this year’s Yearbook will surely inspire more ambitious action by the governments and the stakeholders. Responding to climate change related threats is an opportunity that no one can afford missing.”
