The?Bonn Climate Change Conference, from 6-16 June, is an opportunity to set the scene for the first real implementation COP in Sharm El-Sheikh this November.?
Achieving this – and setting the world on course to halve emissions within the 2020s, strengthening the resilience of frontline communities and scale up climate finance and support for developing countries – requires collaboration across the public and private sectors and developed and developing worlds.
The?UN Climate Change High-Level Champions?are working with businesses, investors, cities and regions and civil society to strengthen and accelerate action – both to build resilience and cut emissions within the 2020s, in line with the latest science.
The private sector and local governments are already taking action to address the climate losses and damages faced by at-risk communities; improve best practices for emission reductions and accountability; mobilize finance to emerging markets and developing economies; and contribute to the Global Stocktake process culminating in 2023.?
But it’s still not enough. This is why multilateral collaboration across national governments, businesses, investors, cities and regions is necessary to drive increasing ambition and action.?
To further enhance this collaboration in the run-up to COP27, the Champions are hosting a series of events at the Bonn Intersessional (full programme here). It includes stakeholder engagement workshops with the Marrakech Partnership and the Camda community of analysts and the following lunch sessions reporting back to Parties and participants of the conference on the Champions’ main activities:

Ocean and Climate Dialogue in Bonn
The?Ocean and Climate Change Dialogue 2022, taking place during the intersessional, charts ways to strengthen ocean-based action on climate change informed by the best available science and knowledge.?
The annual dialogues build on the activities of other workstreams under the UNFCCC, providing a space for coordination and collective efforts to embed the ocean further into national and global climate action. The dialogue spotlights the ocean as a space with huge untapped potential for adaptation and mitigation action, emphasises the need to protect the ocean and marine ecosystems, and discusses pathways to increase the adaptive capacity and resilience of communities dependent on the ocean.
The dialogue, on 15 June at 15:00 CEST in the Chamber Hall of the World Conference Centre Bonn, will explore two topics: "strengthening and integrating national ocean climate action under the Paris Agreement" and "enabling ocean climate solutions and optimising institutional connections”.
Non-Party stakeholders are warmly invited to attend the dialogue and contribute to efforts to link ocean and climate action. The event will be publicly webcast and engagement with panellists and attendees will be possible using Mentimeter.?If you are a registered attendee of the SBs, you can come in person. More information on the ocean workstream under the UNFCCC can be found here, and the latest research needs and directions on the ocean and cryosphere will be discussed in the Research Dialogue.
