Marina Silva, Nobel laureate Kailash Satyarthi and COP30 Presidency to hold press conference on Asia Dialogue of the Global Ethical Stocktake

On Monday, September 1st, at 6 pm (local time), minister of the Environment and Climate Change of Brazil, Marina Silva, Nobel Peace Prize laureate Kailash Satyarthi, COP30 President Ambassador André Corrêa do Lago and COP30 CEO Ana Toni will hold a press conference to present the outcomes of the Asia Dialogue of the Global Ethical Stocktake (GES). The event will take place at the Council on Energy, Environment and Water (CEEW) in New Delhi, India, and will also be livestreamed online.

As one of the key mobilization pillars of COP30, the Global Ethical Stocktake brings a moral lens to the urgent climate actions humanity must undertake, aligning with science and the Paris Agreement goal of limiting global temperature rise to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.

Inspired by the first Global Stocktake process of the international climate treaty, concluded at COP28, the GES seeks to reflect on the progress made so far, identify the path forward, and foster the behavioral and collective transformations required for a shared ethical commitment to implement existing technical solutions.

The GES unfolds through a series of Regional Dialogues being held across continents through October. The first, representing Europe, was held in London (UK), and the second, in South and Central America and the Caribbean, took place in Bogotá (Colombia). On September 1st, the third edition will convene in New Delhi, bringing together religious, political and business leaders, artists, representatives of Indigenous peoples, local and Afro-descendant communities, youth, scientists, policymakers, and activists from across Asia.

Each region is supported by a co-leader who helps promote and articulate the principles, goals, and implementation of the GES. In Asia, this role is taken on by Kailash Satyarthi. Other co-leaders include former Chilean President Michelle Bachelet (Latin America and the Caribbean), former Irish President Mary Robinson (Europe), Wanjira Mathai (Africa), Anote Tong (Oceania), and Karenna Gore (North America).

The process will result in six regional reports and a synthesis report to be presented to the COP30 Presidency at the Pre-COP in October. The findings will inform climate decision-making and be submitted to Heads of State and climate negotiators.

In addition to the Regional Dialogues, the GES is also supported by Self-Organized Dialogues led by civil society organizations and national and subnational governments, all following the same methodology and guiding principles.
