The Recommended Actions to Glasgow Declaration, published by United Nations Environment Programme in 2021, provides a set of initial suggested actions to guide signatories on what to incorporate into their plans. Developed within the framework of the Glasgow Declaration, the document serves as a foundation for signatories to create a tailored, ambitious and effective climate action plan that addresses their organisation's unique circumstances. The actions are organised for different stakeholders into the five pathways of the Glasgow Declaration: Measure, Decarbonise, Regenerate, Collaborate, and Finance.
