The first Global Stocktake under the Paris Agreement was concluded at:

Correct answer: COP28. The first Global Stocktake concluded at COP28 in Dubai in 2023.

Background: It evaluated collective progress towards Paris Agreement goals and identified where more action was needed.

• COP26: COP26 (Glasgow, 2021) is when the stocktake process began, not where it concluded.
• COP27: COP27 (Sharm el-Sheikh, 2022) was in the middle of the process.
• COP29: COP29 (Baku, 2024) focused on climate finance after the stocktake.

Did you know? The outcome encouraged countries to strengthen commitments and accelerate the transition to cleaner energy.

Memory trick: First stocktake = COP28.
