The Bonn Climate Change Conference 2026 (SB 64) runs from June 8 to 18 in Bonn, Germany. This is the first major negotiating session since COP 30 in Belem, and it arrives under pressure to turn political commitments into real implementation. Key topics include trade and climate policy interactions, climate adaptation indicators, the just transition work programme, and the transition away from fossil fuels. Negotiators will launch the first technical dialogue on trade and climate under the Mutirao decision, discuss how to operationalize adaptation indicators adopted at COP 30, and begin work on a draft decision for a Just Transition Mechanism. The conference will also address food systems, gender-responsive climate action, and synergies between climate, biodiversity, and land conventions. These talks will shape the agenda for COP 31 later this year.
