Description
The Bonn Climate Camp, in collaboration with Klimadelegation e.V. and Fridays for Future Bonn, invites climate activists from the Global South to apply for fully funded support to attend the UNFCCC SB60 (3–13 June 2024) and the Bonn Climate Camp in Bonn, Germany. This initiative aims to amplify marginalized voices in climate justice. The application deadline has passed (14 May 2024), but this recap highlights the opportunity for future reference, as similar funding may be available for SB62 in June 2025.

The Bonn Climate Camp is a vibrant hub during SB60, offering workshops, talks, and activities on climate justice, including environmental racism and Indigenous rights. Selected activists participate as Observers at SB60 sessions and engage in camp activities, with flexible attendance options. The programme supports a small group of international activists with:
-

Why It Mattered
SB60 was a critical preparatory meeting for COP29, focusing on the New Collective Quantified Goal (NCQG) for climate finance, adaptation, and Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) due by 10 February 2025. Global South activists played a vital role in advocating for equitable finance and accountability, addressing barriers like insufficient funding and historical emissions responsibilities of developed nations. The camp fostered solidarity and empowered activists to influence global climate policy.
