The Conference will comprise sessions of:

  • the Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol (CMP13);
  • the Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to the Paris Agreement (CMA1.2);
  • the Subsidiary Body for Implementation (SBI47);
  • the Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice (SBSTA47);
  • the Ad Hoc Working Group on the Paris Agreement (APA).

The UNFCCC secretariat, as host of the Conference, says it is working very closely with the Government of Germany, the State of North-Rhine Westphalia and the City of Bonn to make all the necessary arrangements.

Information on the venue, the rental of office space for delegations and space for events, registration for the conference and other services provided will be made available in due course, the UN body adds.

Information on hotel reservations in Bonn and the region will be posted in the coming days once final contact details are established, UNFCCC states further.
