It is not yet known how the annual meeting of the Subsidiary Bodies of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, based in Bonn (UNFCCC), will be held.

The Bonn Global Forum builds on the 10 years of experience gained at the ICLEI Resilient Cities Conference and repositions it in terms of content. The aim is to embed the topic of resilience more strongly in the overall context of climate protection and adaptation and to take account of current developments at the municipal level (including resolutions on climate emergency and climate neutrality). Furthermore, cooperative measures involving various levels of government are to be highlighted and the connections to related topics (e.g. climate financing) and sectors (e.g. science) are to be more strongly emphasized and linked more closely with the organizations based in Bonn (UN, science).
The conference is organized by the city network ICLEI with the support of the City of Bonn. Amongst other measures, the City of Bonn supports the conference through public relations activities, the offer of specialist excursions and networking events for conference participants.

The GLF will host one of the world’s first global digital conferences on integrated land use from its new digital broadcasting center in Bonn, Germany, marking a new era for global conversation without a carbon footprint.
