US Skips Bonn Climate Conference, Since They Can Shit All Over Discussions During Brazil Summit In December

[hatrack]

For the first time since the United Nations started its annual climate talks in 1995, the United States is not sending an official government delegation to one of the biannual global negotiation sessions. In Bonn, Germany, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change is currently holding the annual intersessional round of talks involving various subsidiary technical groups. This is the halfway point between last year’s COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan and the upcoming COP30 in Belem, Brazil in November.

The UNFCCC’s secretariat wrote via email that “The U.S. administration currently has no representatives participating at SB62,” which was confirmed by the U.S. State Department. The State Department said via email that it has “no plans to send a delegation.”

People from developing countries with whom she’s spoken said they don’t expect much from the United States when it comes to critical global climate finance discussions that will be at the center of the November COP30 global climate summit in Belem. “What I’m hearing is folks from the Global South are upset, and rightfully so,” she said. “And they’re also saying, ‘Hey, the biggest blocker and the biggest bully isn’t in the room. Let’s see what we can get done while they’re not here.’ ”

EDIT

The U.S. produces about 11 percent of global annual greenhouse gas emissions. Depledge, the Cambridge climate researcher, said the climate talks will still advance if enough other countries work with each other toward specific goals. “The process will be smoother, especially if some of the laggards lose some of their leverage without the U.S.,” Depledge said. But in the long run, U.S. absence could push the UNFCCC process to the edge of irrelevance, she added. “The Kyoto Protocol, initially forged ahead with the support of every other country on the planet, but ultimately floundered without the U.S.”
