As Climate Negotiations Wrap Up in Bonn, We Need “an All-Out Sprint” to Paris

The World Resources Institute states that while negotiators made significant strides in Bonn, a more vigorous pace is required to finalize a strong climate agreement in Paris. Progress was noted in mitigation, transparency, long-term goals, and the ratchet mechanism, though fundamental differences persist regarding adaptation and finance.

• Negotiators in Bonn made progress on mitigation and transparency, moving into the debate of details, whereas adaptation and finance still have fundamental differences.
• Progress was achieved regarding a robust ratchet mechanism and a long-term goal, although the specific details still need to be integrated into the agreement.
• More than 150 countries have submitted national climate plans, but there is a need to establish rules and norms to ensure these plans maximize climate action.
