At COP30, Parties decided “to urgently advance actions to enable the scaling up of financing for developing country Parties for climate action from all public and private sources to at least USD 1.3 trillion per year by 2035” (Global Mutirão Decision).

With this decision and the publication of the Baku to Belém Roadmap to 1.3T by the COP29 and COP30 Presidencies, the emphasis now turns decisively toward advancing implementation and achieving concrete results.

At an event in Bonn yesterday, Parties and non-Party stakeholders discussed selected dimensions that are particularly critical to delivery, including advancing an implementation agenda and monitoring; strengthening understanding of projected sources of finance; and better connecting financial flows with NDCs, NAPs and national strategies, while respecting country ownership.

“This is an era of implementation in climate action. And finance will drive it forward,” said UN Climate Change Executive Secretary Simon Stiell, speaking at the event. “It is essential for a truly global transition: For turning plans into projects. Bringing the benefits of climate action to billions of people. And laying the groundwork for more ambitious commitments that the science demands, for the second global stocktake.”

An event at the Bonn Climate Meetings today will help strengthen understanding of how education and skills systems can support economic diversification and transformation under climate mitigation policies.

Through information sharing, it will raise awareness of the role of digitalization and emerging technologies, including AI, in enabling new green economic activities, preparing youth for workforce transitions, and informing more forward-looking discussions on education, skills development and inclusive economic transformation

How can local communities participate more meaningfully in the UNFCCC process? A workshop at the UN June Climate Meetings will bring together Parties, local community representatives, constituted bodies and other stakeholders to exchange experiences and practical insights on strengthening the engagement of local communities across the work of the Convention and the Paris Agreement.

The workshop takes place in response to a mandate from COP30. It will contribute to ongoing reflections under the UNFCCC process, particularly the work of the Local Communities and Indigenous Peoples Platform (LCIPP), including the 2027 review of its Facilitative Working Group (FWG). Participants will take stock of existing pathways and identify new one the strengthen the participation of local communities in the UNFCCC process.

The workshop will dedicate time to highlight the lived experiences, knowledge systems and climate practices of local communities. This provides an opportunity to learn directly from knowledge holders and practitioners responding to climate change on the ground.

Reflections and practical considerations emerging from the workshop will be captured in an informal report to inform the 2027 review of the FWG. Collectively, these ongoing efforts help ensure climate policies are reflective of and responsive to the experiences and lived realities of local communities.

Date: Friday, 12 June 2026
Time: 13:00–18:00 CEST
Location: AH Lower Conf. room, UN campus, Bonn
Participation: In person, with virtual participation and webcast available. Interpretation will be provided in English, French and Spanish, with Portuguese interpretation courtesy of the COP30 Presidency

Delivering the objectives of the Paris Agreement requires a rapid transition of energy‑ and emissions‑intensive industrial sectors, which currently account for a significant share of global greenhouse gas emissions.

At the same time, global demand for industrial commodities such as steel, cement, chemicals and aluminum is projected to remain strong, particularly in emerging and developing economies. Translating mitigation objectives into real-economy outcomes, therefore, hinges on the ability to deploy a new generation of clean industrial projects at scale.

This event brings two intersecting themes together: enabling cross-border clean value chains through trade and driving investment through lead market measures and demand creation. It will draw on concrete value chains examples to ground the discussion in real investment and trade dynamics.

Date: Friday 12 June 2026
Time: 12:00 to 13:15 CEST
Location: Bonn 1/2/3, Plenary Building

A dialogue on mountains and climate change will take place at SB64 this morning. Mandated by COP30, the event will highlight practical experiences, identify what kind of support is needed in different regions to take climate action in mountains, and examine how mountain-related priorities are reflected in national instruments such as NDCs, NAPs, and BTRs.

Participants will also discuss entry points within relevant UNFCCC workstreams to address mountain-related risks, solutions and support needs, as well as consider options for continued engagement on mountains and climate change under the UNFCCC, including the potential goals, opportunities and limitations of an annual dialogue.

Date: 12 June 2026
Time: 10:00 - 13:00 CEST and 15:00 - 18:00 CEST
Location: Chamber Hall, Plenary Building, World Conference Center Bonn

In case you missed it, an event designed for experts specializing in climate-related gender- and age-disaggregated data and gender analysis took place yesterday at the Bonn Climate Meetings.

“Women, girls, older persons, and children face different risks, burdens, and barriers,” wrote UN Climate Change Executive Secretary Simon Stiell on LinkedIn today. “They also bring knowledge, experience and solutions that climate policy cannot afford to overlook. When these perspectives are missing from our data, they are missing from policy, planning and finance. That's why gender- and age-disaggregated data are essential for effective climate action.”

The Belém Gender Action Plan – or GAP – agreed at COP30, recognizes that age and gender – as well as issues such as care work, health and violence against women and girls – shape how climate change is experienced.

It also reflects a deeper understanding of the diverse experiences of women across society, including migrant women, women in rural and remote communities, and women with disabilities.

“The conversations on the GAP here at the June Climate Meetings will shape better decisions tomorrow,” said Stiell. “And better decisions lead to better lives for more people and more communities.”

An on-demand webcast of yesterday’s gender- and age-disaggregated data and gender analysis event is available here.

At COP30, Parties decided “to urgently advance actions to enable the scaling up of financing for developing country Parties for climate action from all public and private sources to at least USD 1.3 trillion per year by 2035” (Global Mutirão Decision).

With this decision and the publication of the Baku to Belém Roadmap to 1.3T by the COP29 and COP30 Presidencies, the emphasis now turns decisively toward advancing implementation and achieving concrete results.

At an event in Bonn this afternoon, Parties and non-Party stakeholders will focus their discussions on selected dimensions that are particularly critical to delivery. These include advancing an implementation agenda and monitoring; strengthening understanding of projected sources of finance; and better connecting financial flows with NDCs, NAPs and national strategies, while respecting country ownership.

Today’s event will explore how to operationalize these dimensions in practice, with the Baku to Belém 3T Roadmap as a key vehicle for ambition in climate finance. The discussion aims to capture reflections to help shape priorities for the continued follow up on the Roadmap towards COP31 and beyond.

Date: Thursday 11 June 2026
Time: 13:00 to 15:00 CEST
Location: Chamber Hall, Plenary Building

“As war in the Middle East causes immense human suffering and sparks a fossil fuel cost crisis that’s strangling economies everywhere. It’s crystal clear: continuing our fossil fuel dependency means continuing to import inflation and economic instability, while exporting energy security, sovereignty and policy autonomy, leaving economies and communities exposed to climate disasters, taking a wrecking ball to lives and prosperity everywhere,” said UN Climate Change Executive Secretary Simon Stiell, at the opening of the UN June Climate Meetings in Bonn today.

Stiell also spoke about some of the key issues the June meetings need to progress, including the Global Goal on Adaptation, the Belem Adaptation Indicators, how to deliver the first global stocktake outcome, and more.

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.”

Watch our short explainer video to learn more.
 

With the UN June Climate Meetings getting underway tomorrow, we wanted to remind everyone about the importance of upholding our Code of Conduct and rallying others to do the same:
