The June Climate Meetings (SB64) commenced in Bonn, focusing on pressing climate issues amid global disruptions, including a fuel crisis linked to the Iran-US conflict and the anticipated impacts of El Niño. Key discussions will revolve around the implementation of the first global stocktake, adaptation finance, and the Global Goal on Adaptation. Simon Stiell, the UN Climate chief, urged countries to intensify their climate actions, pointing out the economic instability exacerbated by climate crises and conflicts. China, representing Like Minded Developing Countries, stressed the need for climate finance and the importance of addressing protectionist policies that hinder collective efforts.
