Dear Friend of Bonn,
While COP 27 is underway in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt, where the world leaders are meeting to discuss the implementation of climate plans and financing, we would like to share with you a few of our Bonn topics this fall. Apart from the City’s contribution to COP 27, a focus will be on sustainable building in Bonn. In this context, learn about the city’s Building Land Model and especially about GIZ’s Campus Forum, which has just been awarded the Platinum Certificate for sustainable buildings. Also, we would like to draw your attention to several upcoming events and present a quick wrap-up of the Daring Cities and the Bonn SDG Partnership conference.
See what’s on in Bonn and stay tuned.
