Press Release: EU to set out major contribution to more ambitious global climate action at Bonn conference

The European Union set out its contribution to raising the ambition of international climate action up to 2020 during UN climate change negotiations taking place from 4 to 15 June 2014 in Bonn, Germany. Though mainly at official level, the conference included ministerial discussions on 5 and 6 June.

The 10-day meeting is an opportunity to make further progress towards a post-2020 global climate agreement which is to be finalised next year, as well as towards measures to step up international climate action before 2020.
