Outcomes of the Bonn Climate Change Conference 2023

Powering Past Coal Alliance

  • Introduced during COP23 in Bonn, the Powering Past Coal Alliance was established under the leadership of the UK and Canada.
  • With over 20 members, its primary objective is to accelerate the phasing out of conventional coal power and promote sustainable growth.
  • According to the Alliance, coal phase-out should be achieved by 2030 in the OECD and EU28 countries and no later than 2050 globally, in alignment with the goals of the Paris Agreement.
  • However, the Alliance does not impose a specific deadline for signatories to adhere to for the phase-out.
  • Furthermore, it focuses on restricting financial support for coal power plants rather than mandating a complete halt.

Fiji’s COP

The UNFCCC climate negotiations have made history in Fiji, a small island nation. The outcomes of the negotiations include:

  • Gender Action Plan: This plan aims to promote gender equality and recognize the women's valuable role in the action.
  • Local Communities and Indigenous Peoples Platform: This platform seeks to facilitate the exchange of best practices in mitigation and adaptation among local communities and indigenous peoples.
  • Ocean Pathway Partnership: This partnership adopts a two-track approach in 2020 to align with the objectives of the Paris Agreement. 
    • It focuses on significantly enhancing action in regions highly affected by climate change and the ocean while emphasizing the importance of considering ocean-related factors within the UNFCCC process.

Talanoa Dialogue

"Talanoa" is a customary term widely used in Fiji and the Pacific region to represent a process of inclusive and transparent dialogue. The Talanoa Dialogue was established to assist nations in implementing and enhancing their Nationally Determined Contributions by 2020. Using storytelling, Talanoa encourages the exchange of knowledge, skills, and experiences among participants.

What are the Challenges Ahead of COP 28?

The 28th Conference of the Parties (COP 28) to the UNFCCC will be held in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, in November 2023. COP 28 is expected to be a critical meeting, as it will be the first COP since the global stocktake is completed.

  • The main challenge ahead of COP 28 is to agree on a new climate finance goal and a new adaptation goal for the post-2025 period. 
  • Parties will also need to make progress on developing a framework for addressing loss and damage.
  • Other challenges ahead of COP 28 include:
    • Raising the level of ambition on greenhouse gas emissions reductions.
    • Accelerating the implementation of the Paris Agreement.
    • Ensuring that all countries are able to take part fully in the climate negotiations.

Why Should We Focus on Climate Change?
  • According to estimates, the average worldwide temperature is now 1.1°C warmer than before industrialization. According to present trends, global warming might reach 1.5°C during the next two decades and 2°C at the start of the century's second half.
  • India’s cities are rapidly experiencing rapid urbanization and bearing the brunt of the climate crisis; thus, creating sustainable cities and creating jobs in wholesome neighborhoods should be a major priority.
  • India, which has a population of around 1.3 billion, is currently the third-largest emitter of greenhouse gases worldwide.
  • A warmer environment exacerbates problems with public health, such as illnesses aggravated by the heat, a surge in vector-borne infections, and limited availability of food and safe drinking water. Reducing climate pollutants can reduce threats to public health and slow the planet's heating rate.
  • The International Organization on Migration estimates that up to 200 million people may have to relocate by 2050 due to climate change.
  • By 2050, global efforts to cut short-lived climate pollutants can stop global warming by 0.6°C. Carbon dioxide concentrations and other climate pollutants must be drastically reduced to reduce global temperature rise and hit the 2°C target established by the Paris Agreement.
  • According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), all climate-influencing pollutants, including short-lived ones, must be drastically reduced to limit global warming to 1.5°C.
