SB 64 Press Conference | Santa Marta to Bonn—Building Political Weight for the Fossil Fuel Transition

The transition away from fossil fuels, is set to take centre stage at UNFCCC June Climate Meetings (SB 64) in Bonn. These negotiations will be the first major test of whether momentum from Santa Marta can begin to shape the formal UNFCCC process—including through discussions on transparency, just transition, finance, the second global stocktake, and Presidency-led work on implementation.

At this SB 64 press conference, speakers from civil society and governments involved in the Santa Marta process will reflect on opportunities for the talks to build political weight for the transition away from fossil fuels. The briefing will draw on IISD’s joint publication, Progressing the Transition Away From Fossil Fuels: A Guide for Policy-Makers Working on TAFF Roadmaps and Plans, and will explore how countries can move from ambition to implementation through credible roadmaps, financial reform, just transition planning, and international cooperation.
