This one-day conference brought together a number of experts from governments, civil society, academia to discuss current challenges and approaches to address climate adaptation.
What did – or didn’t – happen in Bonn?
Every June, Parties to the UNFCCC gather in Bonn to advance understanding on technical issues and monitor the implementation of the Convention. These intersessional meetings are important milestones, halfway between Conferences of the Parties (CoPs) which happen every November-December. They provide an opportunity for negotiators and technical experts to build momentum on issues before government ministers become involved for higher-level political discussions at the year’s end.
