The Bonn conference, with delegates representing more than 100 parties to the Paris Agreement, brought together more than 4,800 participants from all corners of the world, almost double the number of participants who attended last year's conference. This included indigenous peoples, local communities, businesses, cities and civil society, including youth and children. Those gathered for their first full in-person meeting since COP27 in Sharm el-Sheikh addressed climate change and highlighted the challenges that need to be overcome to achieve emissions reduction targets.
