Summary
The Bonn climate talks ended in gridlock after two weeks of negotiations, with deep splits between developed and developing countries over finance and emissions-cutting commitments. Developing nations demanded reassurance on adaptation finance, while richer countries pushed for accelerated emissions reductions. UN climate chief Simon Stiell expressed disappointment and accused governments of "cherry-picking" commitments and waiting for others to act first. The failure to reach a balanced deal leaves significant work ahead for COP31.
