Summary
The Bonn Climate Change Conference started its second and final week, with some preliminary agreements emerging and a continued focus on the Paris Agreement Work Programme (PAWP). The negotiators working on the Koronovia joint work programme for agriculture and on common timeframes for nationally determined contributions (NDCs) agreed to draft conclusions that will be forwarded for adoption.
Discussions under the PAWP centered on:
- transparency framework for action and support,
- adaptation communications,
- common timeframes for nationally-determined contributions (NDCs),
- the Local Communities and Indigenous Peoples (LCIP) platform,
- financial communications by developed countries,
- modalities to account for financial resources provided and mobilized through public sources, and
- the global stocktake, which agreed to an informal note that will be forwarded to the Ad Hoc Working Group for the Paris Agreement (APA).
A workshop on long-term finance met, where delegates discussed countries' experiences and insights on how to facilitate developing countries' access to climate finance.
