Today at the UN June Climate Meetings, the incoming COP31 Presidency of Türkiye announced new targets, as part of its Global Climate Action Agenda launch.
- Electrification target to raise share of final energy demand met by electricity from just over 20% today to 35% by 2035
- Halving growth in global waste by 2035
- Resilient Cities target of reducing energy consumption intensity in the building sector by at least 25% by 2035
More details are in this press release today from the COP31 Presidency.
Culture and storytelling shape how people understand and respond to climate change. Film, in particular, can make complex issues human, relatable, and accessible.
Today at SB64, a special side event will feature a screening of the short film-festival-winner “An Amazon’s Night Dream” and a discussion that will examine how film and the broader creative industries can move beyond awareness-raising to inspire hope, agency, and tangible climate action.
The event brings together two UN Climate Change-led initiatives: Entertainment and Culture for Climate Action and Resilience Frontiers, which explores climate-positive futures and pathways towards them through foresight.
Both initiatives share a belief in the power of imagination and storytelling to help envision and shape resilient and sustainable desirable futures.
What: The power of culture and film in climate storytelling
When: Tuesday 9 June

Least developed countries (LDCs) continue to face significant challenges in implementing their national adaptation plans (NAPs), including limited technical capacity and barriers to accessing adaptation finance.
This side event, organized by the Least Developed Countries Expert Group (LEG), will showcase key tools, guidance and initiatives supporting NAP implementation in LDCs. The event will also mark the launch of NAPX, a new platform designed to connect science, policy, finance and practice through a shared data architecture and common adaptation taxonomy.
Participants will learn about available support from partners, funds and organizations, and explore opportunities to strengthen collaboration in advancing adaptation action

“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.”

Starting next week, delegates from around the world will gather in Bonn, Germany, for the UN June Climate Meetings.
As it’s known formally, the sixty-fourth sessions of the Subsidiary Bodies under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (SB64) will be a key moment to advance technical work, ahead of COP 31 in Antalya, Türkiye, this November.
