this page is intended to give an overview of what has happened so far, how the strategy was developed and informs about the next coming steps:
General Background of Strategy
The « 4 per 1000 » 2050 Strategic Plan, validated in June 2020 by the Consortium of Members of the International « 4 per 1000 » Initiative, is a founding and fundamental document for the Initiative. It aims to guide the work of the Initiative for the years until 2050, clearly highlighting 24 Strategic Objectives to be pursued under specific goals, with targets identified for 2030 and 2050.
In 2021, the Executive Secretariat of the international « 4 per 1000 » Initiative carried out a comprehensive consultation process through the constitution of Task Forces, which analysed the 24 Strategic Objectives of the 2050 Strategic Plan, following the Delphi Study methodology. In total, more than 4,000 responses were received from over 120 people. The findings of this work were presented at the 5th Day of the international « 4 per 1000 » Initiative, in Glasgow, on 10th November 2021.
In 2022, the work of the Executive Secretariat of the international « 4 per 1000 » Initiative consisted in reviewing the 162 activities resulting from the work of the Delphi Study in 2021, organised within the 24 Strategic Objectives, in a dozens of categories. In the first half of 2022, each Strategic Objective was reviewed on the basis of the proposals made by the Task Forces: revision of the Title, Description, 2020 Baseline and 2030 & 2050 Targets. After a thorough and accurate analysis, and on the basis of the « 4 per 1000 » Operational Framework, the results were presented at the 5th Day of the international « 4 per 1000 » Initiative, in Glasgow.
This work has led to:
Version 2 of the « 4 per 1000 » 2050 Strategic Plan
Version 1 of the « 4 per 1000 » Implementation Plan.
The latter document was approved by the Consortium of Members in an electronic consultation in July and August 2022.
Core and Global Facilities
As a reminder, the « 4 per 1000 » Operational Framework clearly differentiates between Core Facilities, led and implemented by the Executive Secretariat with the support of existing and future Partnerships, and Global Facilities, which will be facilitated and supported by the Executive Secretariat, while being led by future Alliances. Partnerships and Alliances are the Coalitions of Partners, Members or Friends who support the international « 4 per 1000 » Initiative. It is important to know the distinction, as the way of implementing the Global and Core Facilities differs substantially.
Here you can find an overview of the strategic objectives divided into Core and Global Facilities:
Workplan 2023
The implementation of the strategy has long since begun, with a lot going on under most of the Core Facilities:
- A1.1 NDCs
- A3 Share experiences.
- A4 Stakeholder Interaction
- C1 Advocacy & Awareness
- D1* Collaborative Platform
- D4 Partnerships & Alliances
- F2 Resource mobilization
- F3 Dashboard
- C4 Branding and Certification
To kick-off the work under the Global Facilities, we decided to launch four Task Forces this year, which will work on the Focal Objectives 2023. One of these is a true showcase, as a taskforce has already started working under its taskforce leader. This is:
- F1 Twin Regions
The other three Focal Objectives for 2023 are:
- A1.2-4 NDCs
- A5 Carbon Markets
- E1 MRV Systems
If you wonder why A1 shows up twice, it's because activities under the Objective are pursued by the Executive Secretariat while we rely on your support for the activities which focus on actions in the different regions or in single countries.
The process around the Task Forces
As you all know, Task Forces were formed to work in the frame of the Delphi study with the aim to develop the Implementation Plan in 2021. These Task Forces were reactivated last fall. It was very inspiring to see who and how many of you were interested in which objective, were already working on a certain topic, or could perhaps imagine being Task Force Leaders. During this process, you had the possibility to join a new Task Force, but also to reconfirm your membership of 2021.
F1, A1, A5 and E1 are this year's Focal Objectives and we strongly encourade you to get engaged in one of those Task Forces, if you feel your expertise could contribute to the sucess of the work!.
A1 - Nationally Determined Contributions
