From June 3 – 13, delegates from 198 countries are meeting in the home of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to discuss the most pressing environmental challenges. It’s the time for Bonn Climate Change Conference 2024.
Roughly 6,000 people are expected to gather for discussions halfway to the COP29 Summit in Baku this November. The results of negotiations made at the annual conference are highly likely to influence the decisions made at the upcoming climate event later this year.
Issues up for discussion at Bonn this year include climate finance, ensuring a just transition away from fossil fuels, countries’ national climate action plans and national adaptation plans, among several other pressing topics.

The COP28 Dubai team is currently in Bonn, Germany, 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.
Last year’s COP28 Summit at Expo City Dubai in the UAE achieved significant success on its first day itself as participants agreed to operationalise the Loss and Damage Fund to compensate developing countries for the impacts of climate change.
The Summit also noted a number of pledges being made for several environment-related action plans. In the end, participants acknowledged the need to transition away from fossil fuels in one of the biggest pledges to come out of the climate event.
Bonn Climate Change Conference must do the needful
Climate change has turned into one of the biggest threats humanity has ever faced. It has been elevating global average temperatures to unprecedented levels and triggering natural disasters, such as storms, floods and landslides, of much higher intensities.
It has become more important than ever to implement urgent climate action policies. Recent years have seen innumerable climate protests being organised across the globe as environmentalists and public alike seek the governments’ and companies’ greater focus.
The EU’s Copernicus Climate Change Service recently confirmed 2023 as the hottest year on record and, later on, said the same for the first four months of 2024. It is important that participants at Bonn Climate Change Conference deliver necessary outcomes.
