Can Bonn Climate Change Conference 2024 set the stage for better decisions at COP29 Baku?
Delegates from 198 countries are in Bonn, Germany, for discussions on some of the most pressing environmental challenges. The Bonn Climate Change Conference – being held from June 3-13 – is expected to have a crucial impact on the upcoming COP29 Summit in Baku.
Roughly 6,000 people – mostly from national delegations and civil society groups – are set to assemble in Germany for the days-long annual event in the home of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
Can Bonn help COP29 make more impactful decisions?
The Bonn conference is aimed at ensuring each UN Climate Change Conference (COP) can continue to effectively address the most pressing issues. The COP29 Summit is being monitored much more than any other previous COPs as the climate crisis continues to deepen.
The results of negotiations at the Bonn Climate Change Conference 2024 is expected to be highly influential on the decisions made at COP29 this November. Do you think participants at the event in Germany can facilitate the making of more impactful decisions?
Issues up for discussion at Bonn include climate finance, ensuring a just and effective transition away from fossil fuels, countries’ national climate action plans and national adaptation plans, among several other challenges being faced by the planet.
COP28 Dubai team at Bonn Climate Change Conference
The COP28 Summit at Expo City Dubai in November 2023 achieved significant success on its first day itself as participants at the event agreed to operationalise the landmark Loss and Damage Fund to compensate developing countries for consequences of climate change.
Besides the Fund – previously agreed at the COP27 Summit in Egypt, participants at the Dubai event also acknowledged the immediate need to transition away from polluting fossil fuels in order to make Earth a better place to live in like before.
The COP28 team is in Bonn for the annual conference. They are engaging with Parties and non-party stakeholders to drive progress on the implementation of COP28 outcomes across the UAE Consensus and Presidential Action Agenda, on the Road to Baku and beyond.
