UN Climate Talks Face Obstacles Ahead of COP28.

The Bonn Climate Change Conference ended with negotiators expressing frustration over the lack of progress on climate finance and carbon pollution cuts. The conference was designed to prepare decisions for adoption at the COP28 summit in the United Arab Emirates later this year. The lack of progress on climate finance was a major issue, with low-income countries left deeply frustrated that funds pledged to them to implement their climate plans had not yet materialized. The Dubai summit will see the U.N. publish a global stocktake on tackling the climate emergency — the first since the Paris accord in 2015.
