GERMANY: What to watch for the fossil fuel transition at Bonn Climate Talks

As governments return to Germany for climate talks in the UNFCCC Subsidiary Bodies meetings (SB 64), the transition away from fossil fuels will be a key test of whether growing political momentum can translate into practical progress. The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) is the principal international environmental treaty designed to coordinate the global response to climate change. The new round of climate talks are scheduled from today to June 18, 2026, in Bonn, Germany.
The climate agenda has entered a decisive implementation phase, and that shift is clearest on fossil fuels, according to the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD). The Brazilian Presidency is developing a global roadmap for the transition away from fossil fuels, while the Santa Marta process has brought 57 countries together to focus on how to make that transition happen in practice.Bonn will be the first major test of whether this momentum can begin to shape the formal UNFCCC process. Three areas will be especially important to watch.

Climate talks: Just Transition, Transparency, and the Global Stocktake

How the transition away from fossil fuels features in the Just Transition Work Programme, transparency arrangements, and preparations for the second global stocktake. These discussions will help show whether governments are starting to translate broad commitments into national action.

Climate Finance, Investment, and Economic Constraints

Debates on climate finance, transition investment, fossil fuel subsidy reform, debt constraints, and investment barriers will be central to whether countries —particularly developing countries—have the fiscal space and support needed to move from commitment to implementation.

Trade, Cooperation, and Non-Market Approaches

How trade policy, international cooperation, and non-market approaches can support the transition, including through discussions linked to Article 6.8. Key questions include whether governments can reshape economic incentives in favour of clean energy and green commerce, while strengthening cooperation between fossil fuel-producing and consuming countries.

What happens in Bonn will help set the tone for what is achievable at COP 31 in Türkiye this November.
