June UN Climate Meetings (SB60) - Message from ICAT Director Dr. Henning Wuester

Listen to this message from ICAT Director, Dr. Henning Wuester, for the opening of the 2024 June UN Climate Meetings (SB60).
SB60 will be held from 3 to 13 June 2024 at the World Conference Center Bonn (WCCB). Climate delegates from around the world, experts and interested stakeholders from the public and private sector will discuss ways to accelerate global climate change efforts.
Transparency is at the heart of the Paris Agreement for a reason: It is central to effective climate action. The first biennial transparency reports (BTRs) are due by the end of 2024 and the next nationally determined contributions (NDCs) by February 2025. It is crucial to realize the synergy between the two, and maximize the resulting benefits. SB60 provides a platform to champion transparency, highlight achievements, and exchange experiences and best practices. This way, countries can accelerate national efforts toward effective climate action and prepare for the landmark moments of the first BTRs and updated NDCs.
