As the climate community gathers in Bonn for SB64, one message remains clear: we have entered the implementation era of the Paris Agreement. Accordingly, the UN system and its partners are convening a wide range of NDC-related events, showcasing how countries and stakeholders are moving from climate plans to impact.
These events highlight practical solutions, partnerships, and tools to accelerate implementation, close finance gaps, and support inclusive and just transitions.
Welcome to Day 1 of the UN June Climate Meetings. Whether you’re following along in person or online, let’s get to work!
The opening plenary is expected to get underway at around 10:00 a.m. CEST (Bonn time).
These meetings are a crucial stepping stone, helping to set the agenda for the COP31 UN Climate Conference in November in Antalya, Turkiye, and driving action now.
And just a friendly reminder that during the meetings, full adherence to the Code of Conduct is essential to ensure a respectful, inclusive and productive conference for all.
Starting tomorrow, climate negotiators and experts from around the world will gather in Bonn, Germany, for the annual UN June Climate Meetings – formally called the sixty-fourth sessions of the Subsidiary Bodies under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (SB64).
These meetings are a crucial stepping stone, helping to set the agenda for the COP31 UN Climate Conference in November in Antalya, Türkiye, and driving action now.
They come at a critical time - as climate impacts get worse, like the shocking recent extreme heat killing thousands in a single day. And as economies and households everywhere are hammered by sky-high fossil fuel costs, driven by conflict.
The June Climate Meetings will have a strong focus on advancing issues like climate resilience, protecting workers and communities, delivering agreed finance commitments, and ensuring no country is left behind in the global clean energy boom. As renewables smash investment records.
“So now’s the time to double down on delivering in full on the Paris Climate Agreement. Meeting the targets we set in the first global stocktake - like tripling renewable energy, doubling energy efficiency, and transitioning away from fossil fuels in energy systems, in a just, orderly and equitable manner,” writes UN Climate Change Executive Secretary Simon Stiell in a recent LinkedIn post. “The Global Climate Action Agenda - which brings together governments, companies, innovators, investors, and civil society - can help us meet these targets and build the confidence we need to set stronger ones in the future.”
