Five things to look for at the Bonn Climate Conference

The briefing outlines five critical focus areas for the Bonn Climate Conference: establishing indicators for the Global Goal on Adaptation, defining holistic food and agriculture systems, developing a new gender action plan, resolving impasses on the 'just transition' work stream, and mobilizing climate finance for low- and middle-income countries.

• Negotiators are working to define success indicators for the Global Goal on Adaptation under the Paris Agreement. Eight expert groups are currently reviewing over 10,000 suggestions to narrow the list to no more than 100 for final negotiations at COP30.
• The Bonn conference will host the first workshop dedicated to systemic and holistic approaches to agriculture and food security, addressing a sector that accounts for more than one-third of global greenhouse gas emissions.
• A new gender action plan is being developed to integrate gender into climate financing and policy frameworks, focusing on five priorities: capacity-building; gender balance, participation, and leadership; policy coherence; gender-responsive implementation; and monitoring and reporting.
• The conference aims to regain momentum for the 'just transition' work stream after negotiators failed to reach a decision at COP29 regarding definitions and implementation for a fair shift to net-zero emissions.
• There is a significant gap in climate finance; while COP29 set a goal of US$300 billion per year by 2035 for low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) and an additional US$1.3 trillion from private sources, the world requires approximately five times the current annual spending of US$1.5 trillion.
