From Bonn to Belém: Elevating Adaptation Finance

The 62nd sessions of the Subsidiary Bodies will take place from 16-26th June at the World Conference Center, Bonn, and mark a key milestone between COP29 in Baku and COP30 in Belém.

Adaptation remains critically underfunded with developing countries’ needs currently estimated at $215-$387bn a year, compared to international public finance flows of $28bn (2022). While there have been efforts to scale up adaptation finance through various multilateral processes, they remain insufficient when measured against the urgency and scale of needs, and the imbalance with mitigation remains. COP30 needs to firmly put adaptation finance as a political and urgent priority and leaders should elevate adaptation finance in all fora.  

This side event presents an opportunity to evaluate progress made over the two weeks of negotiations. Key voices – including negotiators, NGOs and thought leaders – will come together to discuss the role of the Baku to Belém Roadmap, the Baku Adaptation Roadmap and other critical processes in delivering adaptation finance, and identify what is required to make progress from Bonn to Belém, and beyond
