Bonn makes only lukewarm progress to tackle a red-hot climate crisis
Thousands of country representatives have spent the last two weeks in Germany at the UN Bonn Climate Conference, marking the mid-year point to the biggest climate summit of the year: COP29.
But despite being a core milestone each year for global climate discussions, there is troublingly little to show for it. And with less than six months before COP29 – and after years of negotiations – there has been a shameful lack of commitment on delivering for those on the frontline of the climate crisis.

The continued failure to deliver and act on commitments from parties is alarmingly increasing and this raises a great concern on where we are heading with the climate crisis

Bonn agenda, and finance negotiations so far have failed to reach an agreement and this is absurd .... we are all responsible for the effects of climate change so when people are affected they should be highly considered.

Innovations like Solvatten can help solve the urgent survival problem, but more money and time are needed to build water infrastructure for living.

Frustrating results from these SBs. With this being a major year of elections globally, lets hope the new governments that will be formed are informed and pressured into taking action and contributing to the loss and damage fund!
