Outcomes of Bonn UNFCCC Climate Change Conference : Prospect for agreement in Durban / Hilary Howe. IISD commentary, June 2011, 3 p.http://www.iisd.org/pdf/2011/outcomes_bonn_unfccc_durban.pdfThe most recent UN climate change negotiations were held in Bonn,  Germany June 6–17, 2011. Given the underwhelming nature of the preceding  talks in Bangkok, there was considerable pressure for the June session  in Bonn to deliver some progress on key architectural elements of the  Cancun Agreements before the 17th Conference of the Parties (COP) in  Durban, South Africa. This sense of urgency was compounded by  uncertainty as to whether a fall negotiating session of the AWGs would  be held before Durban due to lack of funds. Many developed countries  have stated that they could not justify supporting a fall meeting unless  the two weeks in Bonn were productive. Movement during the first week in Bonn was stalled as a result of  disagreements over the agendas for the meetings of the Subsidiary  Bodies, largely reflecting continued developing country discomfort with  the Cancun Agreements as a basis for negotiation. The second week in  Bonn was decidedly more productive with certain agenda items making  considerable progress, including in the areas of adaptation and  technology transfer. (© IISD)
