SB56 Bonn Climate Conference June 2022

The UN Bonn Climate Change Conference (SB56) takes place place against the backdrop of intersecting crises: an ongoing pandemic, an inhumane war, and a looming food emergency. The recent IPCC reports have dramatically shown how harshly the climate crisis is hitting the most vulnerable, that adaptation needs to be scaled all major emitters, but in particular, the richest countries must enhance their mitigation efforts and that the limits of adapting to climate change are already met today. After the recent IPCC reports, rich countries can no longer deny the need to address Loss and Damage and must be ready to deliver at COP27.
