Started on Monday, 16, the Bonn Conference, headquarters of the United Nations Secretariat for the Climate, opens the negotiations that have as a line of arrival at COP-30, which will be held in Brazil in November.
“To have issues discussed and agreed at the conference, these points must be dealt with at this stage of Bonn,” explains the executive secretary of the Climate Observatory, Márcio Astrini. “It’s like a semifinal of a championship that ends in Belém.”
Over the two weeks of the annual meeting between negotiators in Germany, without the presence of heads of state, issues of climate adaptation, energy transition and financing should be discussed.

According to Astrini, columnist for Radio Eldorado, from the State Group, the preliminary stage usually sets the tone of COP’s unfolding each year. If discussions are doing well, it is an indication of success for COP in Belém.
If not, it can repeat the lack of agreement in COP-29 in Baku. Last year in Bonn, countries spent ten days without consensus on what would be discussed.
For Astrini, the ongoing wars can be a complicator for agreement. Another concern is with financing, with so many resources being directed to the conflicts.

Oil auction can expose contradictions from Brazil
The National Petroleum Agency (ANP) will offer oil blocks 47 blocks of fossil fuel exploration in the Foz do Amazonas Basin in a auction held on Tuesday, 17.
Since oil is the main responsible for global warming and the position of Brazil by COP host this year, the auction should reverberate in the coverage of Bonn’s week, according to Astrini.
“It’s more or less as if you were the host of the Annonymous Annual Meeting, which you want to lead for example, and in the middle of the meeting have an inauguration party of your bar. Obviously they are contradictory things,” he criticizes.
