The Bonn Climate Change Conference concluded today after two weeks of intensive work across a range of issues where progress is needed on the path to the UN Climate Change Conference (COP29) this November in Baku, Azerbaijan.
“We’ve taken modest steps forward here in Bonn,” said UN Climate Change Executive Secretary Simon Stiell in his closing speech. “[But] too many items are still on the table... We’ve left ourselves with a very steep mountain to climb to achieve ambitious outcomes in Baku.”

At the closing of the June Climate Meetings, UN Climate Change Executive Secretary Simon Stiell called for countries to step up efforts ahead of COP 29.
