Thirty years into climate negotiations, we are still spending more time debating process than confronting fossil fuels and delivering climate finance.

A timely OpEd by @WafaeMisrar and Thato Angelina Gabaitse on the final day of the Bonn Climate Conference.

In the final hours of #SB64, Parties are still struggling to turn commitments into implementation.

As we look ahead to #COP31, this pattern of delay can't continue.

Climate action & climate justice, from #JustTransition to #Adaptation Finance, cannot remain promises on paper.

[Climate Action Network International (CAN) @CANIntl]

Things are hotting up at #SB64.

Stepping out of the plenary, Jacobo Ocharan of Climate Action Network explains why the talks are still running late: the biggest fault line remains #Finance. key questions remain on #Adaptation.

[Climate Action Network International (CAN) @CANIntl]

#JustTransitionRising is about celebrating how far our collective power has brought us – and recommitting to the work still ahead!

Today is #JustTransition Day at #SB64! Join us at the Main entrance at 6pm for Just Transition Picket-nic or online at https://t.co/hzZ4eRZL1I 🌍✊

A network created even before the @UNFCCC itself, Climate Action Network has been part of UN climate negotiations for more than 30 years, keeping climate action aligned with what scientists, communities, trade unions, Indigenous Peoples & people around the world are calling for.

Questions about access and transparency have been a major part of this week’s conversation at the Bonn climate talks.

From visa barriers that keep some participants out to concerns over civil society media access.

An interesting report from Bonn #SB64:

A just transition is impossible without workers.

As governments are meeting in Bonn at the #SB64 to develop the new Belém–Antalya Mechanism for Just Transition, trade unions are calling for a simple but essential principle: workers and their representatives must be part of the decision-making process.

ITUC Africa Rhoda Boateng stressed in her opening statement that as climate policies affect jobs, industries, communities, and livelihoods - workers must have a voice in shaping the transition to a sustainable future. Strong labour rights, social dialogue, decent work, and quality jobs are not optional—they are the foundation of successful climate action.

There can be no just transition without human rights, labour rights, and peace.

Today's ECO is about turning promises into reality.

From transitioning away from fossil fuels and adaptation finance to Just Transition and Article 6, the message is simple:

No implementation without finance, institutions and political will.

ECO 6 is out:

🟢Climate talks must not become a closed conversation
🟢COP30 Presidency’s roadmap for #TAFF
🟢Forests myths of “sustainable management”,
🟢Agroecology
🟢Workers’ rights in carbon markets.

Transparency & accountability matter.

This is not “just bureaucracy,” it is about who gets to be represented at crucial climate talks. There is an access problem at @UNFCCC #SB64 - and COPs - that we need to pay attention to.

Big shout-out to the African Group of Negotiators 👏 - a sharp, powerful intervention that put tripling adaptation finance front and centre in the Global Goal on Adaptation . As they rightly said, silence on adaptation finance sends the wrong message. 🌍 #GGA #AdaptationFinance

[CAN Africa @can_africa]

A just transition cannot be copy-pasted from the North onto Africa. It must be worker-centred, community-led & African-owned.

At #SB64 we demand transition pathways that reflect equity — not uniform timelines. #JustTransition #ClimateJustice

[Climate Action Network International (CAN) @CANIntl]

Justice, adaptation, oceans - and why climate action must stay grounded in people’s realities.

- Build an inclusive Adaptation Taskforce
- Put agroecology before AI hype
- Give Loss & Damage its rightful place
- Make waves about oceans

ECO 2 #SB64 is out NOW!

Visa barriers are preventing African negotiators from participating at the @UNFCCC

Today’s workshop on the Baku Adaptation Roadmap (BAR) should advance adaptation finance that is public, grant-based, and accessible.

3/ At Climate Action Network’s opening press conference, civil society outlined three priorities for #SB64:

✅ A Just Transition that improves people’s lives
✅ Adaptation finance at the scale communities need
✅ Real implementation of the transition away from fossil fuels

[Climate Action Network International (CAN) @CANIntl]

As climate impacts intensify, people are demanding something simple: international cooperation that responds to suffering, not indifference.

What the world needs now is certainty that governments will cooperate to address these harms.

🧵Day 1 at #SB64

The Bonn climate talks opened against a backdrop of deep global crisis.

Today began with a powerful action outside the venue, linking climate justice to struggles against war, occupation, colonialism & oppression around the world.

🌍 #SB64 opens today in Bonn, and our first ECO newsletter is out.

From the Belem-Antalya Mechanism (BAM) to adaptation finance and the transition away from fossil fuels, the message is clear: implementation without public finance is just bad fiction.

Something deeply troubling is happening here in Bonn at #SB64 — and we need to talk about it. A thread on the systematic shrinking of civic space at climate negotiations. 🧵

For 30 years, @CANIntl has held a daily 11:30am press conference throughout UN climate talks. Every single day. Rain or shine. It's how over 2,500 civil society organisations share a collective assessment of what's actually happening inside these rooms.

[Climate Action Network International (CAN) @CANIntl]

Every June, governments gather in Bonn for the @UNFCCC meetings where they discuss the detailed technical and implementation work 
that prepares the ground for that year’s COP.

This year’s conference, #SB64, shapes the political groundwork for COP31.
