Bonn Climate Change Conference - April 2018
The Bonn Climate Change Conference ended on Thursday as each of the three bodies adopted conclusions for most of the issues on their agendas and agreed to future work, including at the next meeting in Bangkok, Thailand.
There were mixed views on progress made on the issues related to finalizing the Paris Agreement Work Programme (PAWP), the set of decisions that will help countries implement the Agreement. Some of the items discussed most in the closing statements were:
Transparency framework: There are different views on how the framework should help provide information on countries’ actions and support to developing countries, but many highlighted this issue as one needing further work.
Information on finance, especially provided by developed countries in advance of its provision: Many developing countries noted this issue is important to them in the overall PAWP package.
Local Communities and Indigenous Peoples Platform (LCIP): Many countries and non-party stakeholders said they were disappointed with progress on this issue.
Action on Climate Empowerment (ACE): Parties agreed to a decision, the first issue completed in the PAWP, that will continue parties' and stakeholders' efforts on issues such as public participation, education, and access to information.
The PAWP is slated for conclusion in December 2018. At this meeting, parties agreed to several steps to move the work forward:
The Co-Chairs of all of the bodies will prepare a note that will consider all of the items and propose ways forward.
The Co-Chairs of the Ad Hoc Working Group on the Paris Agreement (APA) will prepare a “tool” that will help parties develop an “agreed basis for negotiations.”
There will be an additional meeting in Bangkok devoted to the issues under the PAWP.
Parties adopted several decisions on issues related to the ongoing implementation of the UN Climate Change Convention and the Kyoto Protocol, including the Koronivia joint work programme on agriculture, which includes a roadmap outlining the issues, workshops, and inputs of the work programme.

Bonn Climate Change Conference - April 2018
At the Bonn Climate Change Conference, delegates worked to realize agreements on the second to last day. Negotiators concluded their consideration of several issues, while consideration of other issues, such as research and systemic observation and matters related to Article 6 of the Paris Agreement (cooperative approaches), continues.
To bring together the work related to several issues under the Paris Agreement Work Programme (PAWP), the Ad Hoc Working Group on the Paris Agreement (APA) convened a contact group. During this meeting, the APA Co-Chairs proposed a way forward, which parties deliberated, revised, and eventually agreed to.
The Technical Expert Meeting on Adaptation (TEM-A) met throughout the day to discuss adaptation planning for vulnerable groups, communities, and ecosystems. The sixth Dialogue on Action for Climate Empowerment (ACE) continued, focusing on public participation, public access to information, and international cooperation.
The meeting is scheduled to close on Thursday, with conclusions expected on many issues.
For extensive details on the day’s negotiations and to hear what delegates said in the corridors, see our daily Earth Negotiations Bulletin.

Members of civil society hold a demonstration to stress the importance of human rights and fundamental freedoms, including the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly, association, speech, and privacy in the context of digital technologies and multilateral processes. They highlighted the role and importance of civil society in the fight against climate change.
Civil society members recognize the 21 countries with gender focal points
Members of civil society and other non-party stakeholders call for urgent action to prevent average global warming from rising 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels
Members of civil society illustrate two pressing forces on negotiators: extreme weather events and fossil fuel lobbyists. The demonstrators called for more attention to be paid to civil society and for negotiators to accelerate climate action 'before it is too late.'

With the first week of negotiations coming to a close, one of the day's key events was the joint stocktaking plenary by the Subsidiary Body for Implementation (SBI), the Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice (SBSTA) and the Ad Hoc Working Group on the Paris Agreement (APA). A Gender Dialogue also convened, and the Paris Committee on Capacity-Building (PCCB) held a meeting.
The main focus in the negotiations remained on the Paris Agreement Work Programme (PAWP), which needs to be finalized by COP 24. A range of topics were taken up during the day, including finance, adaptation, mitigation, market and non-market approaches, response measures, and the transparency framework.
Negotiating groups also met to discuss various other issues on the SBSTA and SBI agendas, including arrangements for intergovernmental meetings, agriculture, and research and systematic observation.

The Bonn Climate Change Conference continued on Wednesday. Among the day’s key issues was the opening meeting of the Talanoa Dialogue, a global conversation about the efforts to combat climate change involving both parties and non-party stakeholders.
Another important theme was the the Paris Agreement Work Programme (PAWP), scheduled for completion at COP 24 in December. Topics discussed during the day included mitigation and Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), adaptation, global stocktake, and finance.
A number of negotiating groups also met to discuss issues on the Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice (SBSTA) and the Subsidiary Body for Implementation (SBI) agendas. In addition, the Suva Expert Dialogue was organized, focusing on issues related to loss and damage. A workshop on Climate Change and Gender also took place.

Bonn Climate Change Conference - April 2018
On Monday, parties at the Bonn Climate Change Conference focused on launching substantive work by establishing negotiating groups. Plenary meetings of the three main negotiating bodies, the Subsidiary Body for Implementation (SBI), the Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice (SBSTA) and the Ad Hoc Working Group on the Paris Agreement (APA) made good progress, with each body working through its agenda without major disagreements. In the evening, the three bodies held a joint plenary to hear statements from parties and observer organizations.
In the afternoon, several of the negotiating groups held their first meetings and started substantive negotiations on issues such as agriculture, technology, finance, market and non-market mechanisms, and adaptation.
Throughout the day, a training workshop also took place to consider economic modelling tools related to the work programme on response measures. Its aim was to understand and quantify the cross-border impacts of climate-related policies (i.e., response measures).
For extensive details on the day’s negotiations and to hear what delegates said in the corridors, see our daily Earth Negotiations Bulletin.
