Bonn Climate Conference begins to take stock of the progress towards the net-zero goal

The Bonn Climate Change Conference, which began on June 6, 2023, is the first major climate change meeting since the COP26 summit in Glasgow last year. The conference is expected to focus on taking stock of the progress that has been made in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and on making plans for further action.

The conference is being held in Bonn, Germany, as Germany is the president of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). The Bonn Climate Change Conference is expected to be a challenging meeting. The world is still far off from its goal of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. In order to reach this goal, countries will need to make significant reductions in their greenhouse gas emissions.

The conference is also expected to be a time for countries to discuss how to help developing countries adapt to the impacts of climate change. Developing countries are already feeling the effects of climate change, such as more extreme weather events, rising sea levels, and droughts.

The Bonn Climate Change Conference is an important opportunity for countries to come together and make progress on climate change. The decisions that are made at this conference will have a major impact on the future of our planet.

Here are some of the key issues that are expected to be discussed at the Bonn Climate Change Conference:

  • How to increase ambition in reducing greenhouse gas emissions

  • How to help developing countries adapt to the impacts of climate change

  • How to mobilize finance for climate action

  • How to ensure that climate action is fair and equitable

The Bonn Climate Change Conference is a critical step in the global effort to address climate change. The decisions that are made at this conference will have a major impact on the future of our planet. We must all work together to ensure that the conference is a success.
