Focus sur l'action climatique

L'urgence climatique est une conséquence directe de l'utilisation des terres et de l'agriculture, des transports, des bâtiments et des processus industriels à forte intensité de carbone, ainsi que des sources d'énergie polluantes. En l'absence de changements profonds dans ces secteurs et d'une réduction drastique de l'empreinte carbone, il y a peu d'espoir de protéger la planète des effets dévastateurs d'un monde plus chaud. 

Ce flux en direct vous tiendra au courant de toutes les dernières nouvelles de la Conférence des Nations Unies sur le changement climatique, connue sous le nom de 29e Conférence des Parties (COP29) à la Convention-cadre des Nations Unies sur les changements climatiques (CCNUCC), qui se tiendra à Bakou, en Azerbaïdjan.

Seeking Synergy Solutions: Four Thematic Reports

Four reports were launched on 11 June by experts convened by the UN, showing how action to tackle climate change and the Sustainable Development Goals can be accelerated by addressing both crises together, notably in the key areas of policy frameworks; financial systems; knowledge and data; and cities.

Under the umbrella title Seeking Synergy Solutions, the four thematic reports, spearheaded by the Expert Group on Climate and SDG Synergy, were launched at a special event at the climate meetings in Bonn, Germany, laying the groundwork for the 2024 global synthesis report on climate and SDG synergy, to be released in July. The Expert Group is co-convened by the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA) and UN Climate Change (UNFCCC), which co-hosted the launch, joined by the secretariats of the UN Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) and the UN Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD).

The NDC Partnership & UNFCCC launch a tool to support countries in raising NDCs 3.0 ambition and accelerating implementation. Explore the interactive tool (NDC 3.0 Navigator) designed to support countries in raising NDCs 3.0 ambition and accelerating the implementation of the next round of NDCs to be submitted in early 2025. The Navigator was developed with technical inputs from the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), World Resources Institute (WRI) and over 30 other partners.

The tool is launched in time for countries as they submit their revised contributions due in early 2025.

Watch the Closing plenary of the Bonn Climate Change Conference

“We’ve taken modest steps forward here in Bonn,” said UN Climate Change Executive Secretary Simon Stiell in his closing speech. “[But] too many items are still on the table . . . We’ve left ourselves with a very steep mountain to climb to achieve ambitious outcomes in Baku.”

Areas of progress in Bonn include:

  • Parties streamlined content going into the New Collective Quantified Goal on Climate Finance. Clear options and the substantive framework of a draft decision must be finalized before COP29. 
  • Parties took steps towards adaptation indicators that are forward-looking, effective, and scientifically sound.
  • Progress was made towards a better functioning international carbon market, but further work remains to be done.
  • Parties worked together for transparency and supported each other in planning stronger climate action plans

Cities have a key role to play in tackling climate change – here’s why

While cities are significant contributors to climate change due to their rapid growth and high emissions, they also serve as hubs for innovation and solutions. In fact, cities provide extensive opportunities for implementing sustainable practices and reducing GHG emissions.

Cities have a crucial role in anticipating and coping with climate challenges. By prioritizing increased climate investments, ambitious urban planning and robust policies, cities can play a pivotal role in translating global climate targets into locally achievable solutions.

At the 60th session of the Bonn Climate Change Conference, creating enabling environments for ambitious and implementable Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) 3.0 was a key priority. 

Related to transport related NDCs, countries committed to boosting walking and cycling in the next round of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) can now count on two innovative tools recently launched by the Partnership for Active Travel and Health (PATH) coalition, of which the UNEP Share the Road Programme is a founding member.

Technology and innovation vital for climate adaptation in vulnerable regions

Hosted by the Technology Mechanism, the event "Innovation and Technology in Support of Risk-Informed Climate Adaptation and Early Warnings for All" spotlighted what role technology and innovation play in climate resilience and risk-aware investment in vulnerable regions. Nearly half of all countries have incorporated early warning systems into their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), underscoring their importance in climate adaptation.

The event stressed the need to tailor technology solutions to local contexts, blending traditional and modern methods for more effective early warning systems. Addressing disparities in disaster risk knowledge, particularly in least developed countries (LDCs) and Small Island Developing States (SIDS), remains a key challenge. Collaborative efforts, including public-private partnerships, are essential for promoting open data and knowledge sharing.

The event concluded with a call for sustained collaboration, strategic investment, and capacity building to advance technology-driven solutions for climate resilience and informed decision-making.
