Abstract

This brief review delves into the UK's pivotal role in the First Global Stocktake (GST) under the Paris Agreement, spotlighting key elements within Articles 9, 10, and 11. The UK is committed to achieving net-zero emissions, actively supporting global sustainable development. The GST serves as a barometer for gauging worldwide climate progress, with the UK dedicating £11.6 billion for 2021-2025, strategically dividing resources between emission reduction and adaptation initiatives.Article 10 underscores the significance of technology in climate goals. The UK exemplifies this commitment through active support for initiatives like the Climate Technology Centre and Network (CTCN) and groundbreaking programs such as the Global Energy Storage Programmed (GESP), showcasing a dedication to fostering global innovation. Article 11 emphasizes the necessity of global cooperation. The UK responds by contributing to capacity-building programs, including the impactful 2050 Calculator, actively participating in international endeavors. The focus spans technology, finance, and education to enhance global capabilities
