The Bonn Climate Change Conference is currently underway, serving as a crucial mid-way checkpoint for international climate talks. Despite the lack of an agreed final agenda, the conference is expected to lay the groundwork for the COP28 conference in Dubai. With representatives from 200 countries, the Bonn conference is a significant opportunity to make progress on climate change policy issues.
One of the key topics of discussion at the conference is the global stocktake at COP28, which will review countries’ collective progress every five years. Making significant progress in Bonn is essential, as it sets the stage for important political decisions later this year.
The United Nations Climate Change Conference has kicked off in Germany without a final agenda. The conference aims to develop a “rule book” for implementing the Paris Agreement, which was signed by 195 countries in 2015. Limiting global warming to well below 2 degrees Celsius is a key goal of the Paris Agreement.
The conference also focuses on climate finance and support for developing countries’ emissions reduction efforts. Representatives from government, civil society, and the private sector will come together for two weeks of discussions on climate change.
The Bonn Climate Change Conference and the United Nations Climate Change Conference both highlight the importance of international cooperation and progress on climate change policy. With global temperatures continuing to rise, it is crucial that countries work together to limit the damage done by climate change.
