  • What to expect from the Bonn climate talks

    The annual June climate talks in Bonn are crucial this year due to the oil and gas supply crisis, deadly heatwaves, and global economic and political instability caused by fossil fuel dependency. Key goals of the negotiations include supporting a just transition away from fossil fuels, funding adaptation to climate impacts, and demonstrating a shift towards climate action and clean energy on a global scale. The upcoming COP31 in Bonn will focus on key climate priorities such as a just transition mechanism away from fossil fuels, funding for adaptation to climate impacts, and shifting global finance flows to support a low-carbon world. Additionally, efforts are being made to accelerate the implementation of emissions-cutting and adaptation plans through initiatives like the Belém Mission to 1.5 and Global Implementation Accelerator. Brazil is also working on a roadmap to implement climate solutions, including phasing out fossil fuels and ending deforestation by 2030, with the establishment of a new rainforest fund to support these efforts.
