Thousands of negotiators from 200 countries have flown to Bonn, Germany, to begin round-the-clock negotiations over two weeks to plan the next climate meetings and conferences.
AFP said on Monday that the most pressing issue facing participants was laying the groundwork for a new round of major United Nations talks in Egypt this year.
The World Conference Center agenda also includes a discussion on how to fund “rich pollution” and transfer it to the weakest developing countries, least responsible for global warming, to deal with the increasingly devastating consequences.
These talks took place at a time when national leaders demanded that climate issues take precedence over all other issues.

If countries are increasing their reliance on coal in response to war, “we’re done”, Kerry told the BBC.
“As the world, we still aren’t acting fast to reduce emissions of warming gases that are driving temperatures,” Kerry warned. “We can still win this war,” the former senator said, but it will require “a total escalation of the efforts of countries around the world.”
Today’s meeting in Bonn will last until the end of next week.
It took place between the big conferences in Glasgow last year and COP27 in Egypt this year.
The talks will be led by officials with limited political input and will review progress on a number of issues agreed upon in the Glasgow Climate Pact.
