International Climate Policy in Times of Shrinking Budgets

The 62nd sessions of the Subsidiary Bodies (SB62) of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) will take place in Bonn from June 16 to 26, 2025. As a technical preparatory meeting for COP30 in Belém, Brazil, it holds central importance for international climate policy. In a time of escalating global crises, shrinking public budgets, and mounting geopolitical tensions, ambitious and implementation-focused outcomes are more vital than ever.
