BONN, GERMANY (WAM)

The United Arab Emirates successfully concluded its participation at the 62nd Session of the Subsidiary Bodies
(SB62) under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), which was held in Bonn,
Germany.

The UAE delegation was led by the Assistant Minister of Foreign Affairs for Energy and Sustainability, Abdulla Ahmed
Balalaa, who reaffirmed the UAE’s commitment to building on the outcomes of COP28 and supporting continued
progress ahead of COP30, which will be held in Belém, Brazil.

Throughout SB62, the UAE actively engaged in all negotiation paths, including climate finance, the Global Goal on
Adaptation, the Just Transition Work Programme, and transparency arrangements under the Paris Agreement.

The delegation also participated in more than 25 side events and panel discussions, highlighting the UAE’s strategies

and initiatives in areas such as clean energy, artificial intelligence, and innovative climate finance solutions.

The delegation further showcased the UAE’s efforts to strengthen climate innovation, enhance international

cooperation, and elevate the role of youth in climate policy.

Balalaa emphasised that the UAE remains committed to supporting the multilateral process and building consensus
to deliver practical solutions for climate resilience and sustainable development.

His Excellency stressed the critical importance of carrying forward the spirit of inclusivity achieved at COP28.

This was reflected in the UAE’s constructive engagement in discussions and negotiations and its efforts to help bridge

the gap between diverse perspectives.

During the session, the UAE’s Ministry of Culture organised a cultural event under the Adaptation agenda,
showcasing the role of heritage and traditional knowledge in building climate resilience, further underscoring the

UAE’s comprehensive approach to sustainable development.

Looking ahead, the UAE will continue its role within the COP Troika alongside Azerbaijan and Brazil, aiming to ensure
that COP30 delivers ambitious, equitable, and tangible outcomes, particularly on adaptation indicators and just

transition frameworks, in line with the UAE to Belém Roadmap and the UAE Just Transition Work Programme.
