Mid-year UN conference in Germany sees intense negotiations on adaptation, finance and loss‑and‑damage ahead of November’s major summit in Brazil.
More than 5,000 participants from nearly 200 countries, including government representatives, scientists, Indigenous groups, and civil society, gathered in Bonn, Germany, on June 16 for the annual UNFCCC Bonn Climate Change Conference (SB 62).
Scheduled to run through June 26 at the World Conference Center Bonn, these mid-year climate sessions are critical in preparing decisions for COP 30, set for November in Belém, Brazil.
At the heart of discussions are three urgent areas:
Global Goal on Adaptation (GGA): Delegates aim to finalize a set of around 100 measurable indicators to track adaptation progress by COP 30.
Loss and Damage funding: Negotiators are drafting concrete steps to operationalise the Warsaw International Mechanism, strengthen the Santiago Network, and mobilise financial support—urgent priorities for climate‑vulnerable developing nations.
Climate finance scale‑up: Working groups are examining pathways to scale resources under the Baku–Belém Roadmap, aiming to mobilise USD 1.3 trillion annually by 2035, building on the USD 300 billion goal set in COP 29.
Other major tracks include non-market approaches under Article 6.8, just‑transition frameworks, agriculture and food security, and enhanced transparency mechanisms to assess Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) under Paris Agreement Article 6 and NCQG.
Regional experts, including academics from the UK’s University of Bristol, emphasized the importance of a rights-based approach and social equity in climate adaptation policies.
These voices will contribute to shaping COP 30 outcomes, aimed at addressing climate justice.
The Bonn Climate Conference serves as a critical stepping stone toward COP30 in Brazil, where decisions made here will shape future climate policy, particularly on adaptation, finance, and accountability.
With developing nations demanding urgent implementation of the loss-and-damage fund amid worsening climate disasters, the pressure to deliver concrete mechanisms is high.
Simultaneously, the talks are expected to advance the Baku–Belém Roadmap, with negotiators working toward scaling climate finance from the current USD 300 billion to an ambitious $1.3 trillion annually by 2035.
