Climate action on the road from Bonn to Belém

Join the Alliance of Bioversity and CIAT at the Bonn SB62 climate conference.

The United Nations mid-year climate talks take place annually in Bonn, Germany. The sessions of the UNFCCC Subsidiary Bodies, as they are known, serve as a crucial checkpoint for negotiators and other contributors to build momentum and make progress on the issues that will define the larger Conference of Parties, the UN COP climate summits, that take place later in the year.

The 62nd session of the UNFCCC Subsidiary Bodies (SB62) is a therefore a critical milestone in ensuring positive and compelling outcomes for the 30th Conference of the Parties (COP30) which will take place in Belém, Brazil from 10 to 21 November 2025.

The Alliance of Bioversity and CIAT (The Alliance) will be at SB62, and high on the agenda are several issues of urgent importance to agriculture and potential approaches (such as food systems) which have potential to serve as a solution to—not a driver of—the urgent challenge of climate change.
