As Bonn talks fall short, all eyes on Belém to bridge the gap
Bonn, Germany: The Bonn climate talks concluded today, with limited progress on key issues, reflecting ongoing political divisions, delays and leaving significant work remaining to build the consensus needed for meaningful outcomes in Belém. Attention now turns to national governments, civil society, and the COP30 Presidency to accelerate ambition in the lead-up to November.
Andreas Sieber, 350.org Associate Director of Global Policy and Campaigns says:
“Bonn was bogged down by political divisions and bruised by global tensions, with results that leave much to be desired. A serious injection of energy and urgency is required as we look ahead to COP30 in Belém. Negotiators must make progress on implementing the Global Stocktake, closing the ambition gap, and delivering the finance needed to turn ambition into action.
Civil society must hold the line on the agreement to triple renewables and phase out fossil fuels, and rich countries must course correct after Baku’s shortcomings. COP30 has much to make up for, and for it to be a success, the Presidency must lead with the integrity, diplomacy and flexibility this crisis demands.”
