Welthungerhilfe expects SB62 to lay a solid foundation for the preparation of ambitious decisions for COP30. The overlapping crises – including extreme weather events, armed conflicts, trade crises, and the decline in multilateral cooperation – are massively exacerbating global food insecurity. Agriculture and food systems must therefore be integrated more strongly than before into international climate policy. A sustainable transformation of these systems is essential to reduce emissions, advance climate adaptation, and achieve climate justice.
These aspects must be integrated into the work streams to be negotiated in Bonn:
the further development of the Sharm el-Sheikh Joint Work on Implementation of Climate Action on Agriculture and Food Security, the Baku to Belém Roadmap on Climate Finance, the clarification of modalities for the Baku Adaptation Roadmap, and in decisions on the future format of the Just Transition Work Programme. The Loss and Damage Fund, launched in 2023, continues to focus on practical implementation. Finally, Bonn will also address the further development of the structure for the next Global Stocktake (GST).
