What to know about this June's climate meetings
The work on international climate policy happens year-round
By Matti Goldberg, Sarah Ruiz
While the annual climate Conference of Parties (COP) each fall is the largest and most visible event of the global climate effort, international climate action happens all year long. Each June, United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) holds a preparatory conference in Bonn, Germany.These summer climate meetings, often referred to in shorthand as "Bonn," bring together up to 7000 delegates for the nitty gritty work of international cooperation.
At Bonn, government delegations negotiate the full range of issues surrounding global climate collaboration, scientific organizations present their latest findings, civil society groups advocate for climate action, and diverse coalitions showcase their efforts. The June meetings lay the groundwork for decision-making and collaboration at the upcoming COP, and often give a clear indication of the challenges to come in the fall negotiations. This year, from June 16 to 26, conversations at Bonn spanned topics including the development of indicators for global resilience, clarifying how the world should pursue the global energy and forestry related targets agreed on at COP 28, mobilizing climate finance, increasing countries' ambition for emissions reduction, and ensuring a just global transition away from fossil fuels.
This year's summer meetings proved a tough one for governments attempting to move forward on nearly every issue, though delegates did manage to achieve clarity on the decisionmaking agenda for the upcoming COP30, to be held in Belem, Brazil in November. In the science realm, the UNFCCC launched a systematic mapping of what research needs are currently being met by the scientific community and where there are still gaps in actionable information.
Beyond the intergovernmental negotiations the conference included a wide range of events and activities by observer organizations. A Woodwell Climate delegation was in attendance again this year, taking part in some of the key activities of the conference. Here are 3 highlights from The Center's engagement at this year's June climate meetings.
* Reporting and Transparency: One of the linchpins of the Paris Agreement is its extensive reporting regime. Every two years, each country party to the Paris Agreement is required to submit a report outlining their national climate actions. These reports have to be reviewed by technical experts to ensure accountability to stated goals. On the first day of the June meetings, Woodwell Climate officially launched a partnership with UN Climate Change to train reviewing experts on adaptation action and reporting. The collaboration will encompass virtual and in-person workshops, as well as intensive academy-style sessions to provide practitioners with the skills and knowledge needed to uphold transparency.
* The 17th Annual Research Dialogue: This is the biggest event for scientists at the UNFCCC meetings. It is an opportunity for science organizations and experts to present their latest findings and learn from governments about knowledge gaps and needs. Woodwell's Director of Government Relations - International, Dr. Matti Goldberg, presented research from a recent study led by Woodwell Climate and the Environmental Defense Fund that showed how climate-driven emissions, like those from increased wildfire and thawing permafrost, threaten the viability of the Paris Agreement.
* Side Events: Every year, swirling around the main agenda of the June meetings, is a host of side events that tackle important topics. This year, Woodwell Climate Assistant Scientist Dr. Ludmila Rattis and Fundacao Dom Cabral organized an official side event to discuss the creation of an index for measuring the sustainability of agriculture based on soil health, the presence of forests, and diverse crop systems.
On top of substantive agenda items, participants tried to grapple with the logistical issues arising around the conference in Belem, with affordability and accessibility being particularly acute concerns for non-governmental organizations and Global South participants. Despite the questions remaining on this front, the outcomes from this June's climate meetings have built the foundations for a pivotal COP30 agenda--at a time when ambitious climate action couldn't be more important.

People's Action and People's Action Institute Denounce the 50 U.S. Senators and Tie-Breaker, VP J.D. Vance, Who Voted To Take Health Care From Millions To Give a Tax Cut to Greedy Corporations and CEOs, Commit to Organize to Stop the Bill in the House
*
WASHINGTON, D.C. - People's Action and People's Action Institute Executive Director Sulma Arias issued the following statement in response to thefederal budget reconciliation package that advanced out of the U.S. Senate and will soon be voted upon in the House of Representatives:
"Promises made; promises broken. President Trump said his party wouldn't cut Medicaid. And then they voted to do just that.
"Trump and Senate Republicans tried to hide the fact that they planned to cut Medicaid. We warned the public that they were lying, and after this vote, there can be no doubt. Medicaid is a lifeline for millions; when politicians take it away, they kill people. Through this budget, the billionaires and the bullies plan to do exactly that so they can steal these funds for themselves."
"There's enough for all of us if corporations and billionaires don't steal it all-and that's exactly what they're trying to do. Passed through a series of dark-of-night deals, this bill will take money for our health care, food, and housing and give it to the ultra-wealthy few."
"Tens of thousands of people will die because of this budget, hundreds of thousands of people will be saddled with crippling medical debt, and virtually every other American aside from the wealthy few will be worse off. Through their MAGA allies, billionaires and corporations are undertaking the largest upward theft of wealth in history."
"This killer budget is part of the violence being directed at our communities all over the country. Everywhere you look, the Trump regime and the billionaires behind them are showing us they are willing to hurt us to hoard more wealth and power for themselves."
"Health experts estimated that the version of the bill passed by the House in May will cause 51,000 preventable deaths; the Medicaid cuts alone will cause almost 30,000 additional deaths a year and saddle more than 750,000 people with catastrophic health care costs. The version moving through the Senate appears to be worse, shockingly, than the version passed by the House."
"This bill supercharges Trump's vicious abductions of our loved ones and his attack on our freedoms in our cities. According to the conservative CATO Institute, almost a quarter of the price tag of the bill passed by the House is for mass deportation. Trump is already stealing money from other agencies and the military to fund his crackdown-and now he wants to steal our health care, housing, and food money to make it much, much worse."
"We will hold Trump and the MAGA Republicans accountable for the harm they've done to us by passing this bill on behalf of the billionaires and the bullies. The American people oppose this attack on our families, our freedoms, and our futures by a 2-to-1 margin, and we will make sure they know who voted to pass it."
"All over the country, our members stood up to fight this bill. In visits to D.C. and events all over the country, People's Action's and People's Action Institute members said 'no' to this violent budget. We will keep standing up for our communities against the corporations and billionaires who benefited from this attack on our families, our freedoms, and our future."
"Each member of the House of Representatives must now make a choice between the well-being of their constituents and their corporate donors. It's either medicine for the sick and food for the hungry or tax cuts for billionaires and yachts for CEOs."
"We will organize to stop this MAGA murder bill in the House of Representatives. We will organize to hold the members of the U.S. Senate and House accountable for their votes."

STATEMENT ON SENATE PASSAGE OF BILLIONAIRE BUDGET
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, Senate Republicans passed a cruel and reckless "Billionaire Budget" that rips away essential services from working families to pay for handouts to the ultra-wealthy. The Republican package guts Medicaid, strips health care from 17 million Americans, andslashes life-saving nutrition assistance like SNAP and Meals on Wheels--programs that serve children and seniors.
Stand Up America Executive Director Christina Harvey issued the following statement upon the legislation's passage:
"This Big Billionaire Budget represents one of the largest wealth transfers in American history--from the families who have the least to the wealthy political donors who already have everything. Everyday Americans will pay more every year, while Donald Trump and his billionaire donor buddies laugh their way to the bank.
"Senate Republicans didn't just vote for a budget. They voted for government by and for the billionaires--and they betrayed the voters they were elected to represent."
About Stand Up America
Stand Up America is a progressive advocacy organization with nearly two million community members across the country. Focused on grassroots advocacy to stand up to corruption and voter suppression and build a more representative democracy, Stand Up America has driven over 1.7 million calls to lawmakers, registered over 100,000 voters, mobilized thousands of protestors, and contacted tens of millions of voters.

WASHINGTON, July 2 -- The American Red Cross issued the following news release:

Red Cross and Armed Services Blood Program Launch Partnership to Strengthen Military and Civilian Blood Supply
Honor the spirit of Independence Day by rolling up a sleeve to give blood
*
In a powerful show of unity and commitment to saving lives, the American Red Cross and the Defense Health Agency's Armed Services Blood Program (ASBP) have joined forces in a new partnership to fortify the nation's blood supply and support America's heroes.
This collaboration enables the Military Health System to receivelife-saving blood products from the Red Cross, while expanding Red Cross blood drives on military installations and even aboard ships. The result: more opportunities for generous donors to give blood and a stronger, more resilient blood supply for both military and civilian communities.
"This partnership is a game-changer," said Dr. Mary Ann Spott, acting director of the Armed Services Blood Program. "Together, we're ensuring that our service members--whether in combat operations, in military hospitals, or on domestic bases --have access to the blood they need, while also reinforcing the civilian healthcare system."
"The Red Cross has a long history of supporting our service members and we are honored to expand our support to help those in need of vital blood transfusions," said Micah Holliman, director of national partnerships for American Red Cross Blood Services. "We are at our strongest when we come together. Blood donation is a simple yet powerful act of patriotism and compassion."
The Red Cross, ASBP, and the Department of Defense share a unified mission: to meet the blood needs of active-duty service members in times of peace and conflict. Now more than ever, this partnership enhances that mission by ensuring our nation is always prepared with a reliable, responsive blood supply that supports military operations and saves lives.
All who come to give July 1-14, 2025, will get an exclusive pair of Red Cross x goodr sunglasses, while supplies last. Donors can personalize their one-of-a-kind shades with a blood type sticker! For details, visit RedCrossBlood.org/goodr.
This Independence Day, let us unite in the American spirit of giving and give the gift of life. One American nation. One lifesaving mission. One drop at a time.
More Ways to Give, More Lives to Save
"Working in a hospital setting in patient administration, I see firsthand how critical blood donations are," said Captain Bryan Wallace who donated blood for the first time at a Red Cross blood drive at Maxwell Air Force Base in May. "When I saw this awesome opportunity, I thought, what better time to give than now?"
Military spouses, retirees, and government civilians with base access can now donate blood at either ASBP or Red Cross drives without leaving the installation. Service members at sea will also have more chances to donate while deployed. And civilians who give blood at public Red Cross drives may support military personnel by helping maintain a robust community blood supply which will be shared with the military when needed.
"Every donation is a lifeline," said Holliman. "Whether it's a soldier overseas, a veteran at home, or a patient in a local hospital, your blood donation makes a difference."
A Legacy of Service
This partnership builds on the long-standing Red Cross Services to the Armed Forces program, which helps members of the military, veterans, their families, caregivers, and survivors prepare for, cope with, and respond to the challenges of military service, both in the U.S. and abroad.
Maintaining a global presence on more than 100 military installations and deployment sites worldwide, the Red Cross provides communication between service members and their families during times of emergency. The Red Cross also aims to improve the health and wellness of people in the military community through behavioral health and wellness workshops, hospital, clinic and peer support programs and the provision of care, comfort, and therapy items.
About Blood Donation
A blood donor card or driver's license or two other forms of identification are required at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years of age in most states (16 with parental consent where allowed by state law), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements.
Blood and platelet donors can save time at their next donation by using RapidPass(R) to complete their pre-donation reading and health history questionnaire online, on the day of their donation, before arriving at the blood drive. To get started, follow the instructions at RedCrossBlood.org/RapidPass or use the Blood Donor App.
About the Armed Forces Blood Program
The Armed Services Blood Program is the official Department of Defense provider of blood products for the U.S. armed forces. As a division of the Defense Health Agency, we focus on equipping service members, their families, retirees, and veterans worldwide with the lifesaving blood products needed, whether on the battlefield or in military hospitals, in peace and in war. For more information, please visit dha.mil/militaryblood.

This bill is what happens when a major political party, in the grips of a personality cult, teams up with oil company CEOs, hedge fund donors,and climate deniers. All you need to do is look at who benefits from actively undercutting the clean energy industry that is creating tens of thousands of jobs across political geographies.
"The megabill isn't about reform--it's about rewarding the super rich and doling out fossil fuel industry handouts, all while dismantling the social safety nets on which millions depend for stability. It is a bet against the future."

MADISON, Wisconsin, July 2 -- Clean Wisconsin issued the following news release:
* * *
Ugly Impact of Trump's 'Big, Beautiful Bill' on Wisconsin's Environment
Press Releases, Clean Air, Clean Water, Climate and Energy, Government and Policy
*
Senate Republicans have passed a bill that will mean more pollution, higher energy costs, more extraction on public lands, and lost jobs here in Wisconsin. The so-called 'Big, Beautiful, Bill' is a gift to big oil at the expense of Wisconsin families and our environment.
The Senate Bill:
* Rips away incentives to help families and businesses save energy
*Eliminates tax credits for wind and solar projects
* Guts USDA technical assistance that helps farmers protect water and soil
* Gives more tax breaks to big oil and gas
* Allows corporations to pay to fast-track projects that emit pollution
* Rescinds moratorium on new coal leasing
* Reduces the royalty rates big oil & gas companies pay to lease public lands
* Dismantles vehicle and methane emissions standards
* Ends tax credits for clean vehicles, including cars and school buses
* Eliminates programs to reduce air pollution in schools
* Pulls funding to help the EPA address hydrofluorocarbons
* Cuts funding for the National Park Service and Forest Service
* Requires the Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management to more than double timber harvesting on public lands
"This will mean an uglier, more harmful environment for everyone," says Clean Wisconsin Energy and Air Manager Ciaran Gallagher. "The bill makes it easier for polluters to put toxins in our environment, easier for big oil and gas companies to make profits on the backs of Wisconsinites, and harder for families to afford their energy bills. It doesn't make any economic sense and is forfeiting the jobs and growth we've seen in Wisconsin from clean energy development. Families in our state will suffer because of it - higher bills, more pollution, and a real risk of blackouts. The key to our energy independence is wind and solar, energy sources that are readily available here."
Gallagher notes that propping up expensive coal, oil and gas while stifling cheaper wind and solar could lead to a true energy crisis.
"We are seeing tremendous increases in energy demand driven in part by AI data centers, yet this bill will turn our country away from inexpensive wind and solar that can be added to the grid quickly. I wouldn't be surprised to see blackouts as utilities struggle to get fossil fuel plants built fast enough, and we will no doubt see spikes in energy costs," Gallagher says.
The budget bill embraces climate-warming fossil fuels on the heels of a dangerous heatwave that engulfed much of the U.S. less than two weeks ago. The bill now heads back to the House of Representatives for approval.
"If this gets signed into law, it will be a sad day for Wisconsinites and for our future generations," says Gallagher.

WASHINGTON, July 2 -- The Carbon Capture Coalition issued the following news:
* * *
Senate Passes Budget Reconciliation Package, Retains Mission-Critical Elements of Federal Section 45Q Tax Credit
The following statement can be attributed to Madelyn Morrison, director of government affairs for the Carbon Capture Coalition, regarding Wednesday's passage by the US Senate of their version of the budget reconciliation package, which contains changes to the federal Section 45Q tax credit:
"The Carbon Capture Coalition is pleased that the Senate's version of the 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act' (OBBBA),as passed by the chamber on July 1, 2025, preserves the federal Section 45Q tax credit while making modifications to the underlying statute that strengthen the utility of this mission-critical program for American energy and industrial production. The Senate-passed version of the OBBBA tax title is a testament to the robust and widespread support for carbon management--and the 45Q tax credit--cultivated in Congress over the past two decades.
"The bill helpfully restores the ability to elect transferability for the lifetime of the credit, creates parity between credit levels for carbon utilization projects and those storing captured CO2 in dedicated geologic storage, and importantly, does not facilitate additional harmful delays to adjusting the credit for inflation, as proposed in earlier drafts. Still, the Coalition urges Congress to enact a more appropriate inflation adjustment for 45Q than the current law allows.
"The Coalition has been sounding the alarm on the destructive impact inflationary pressures have had on 45Q credit values and broader project economics since Congress enacted the most recent credit enhancements three years ago. Despite the most recent enhancements to the tax credit, the economics for project deployment are challenged due to a combination of inflationary pressures on raw materials and components, labor, and higher interest rates for securing capital that have occurred over the past several years.
"In fact, between 2020 and 2024, prices of basic commodities, equipment, metals, construction labor, and engineering contractors increased between 30 and 40 percent across heavy construction and capital equipment sectors. Furthermore, analysis shows that 45Q has already lost more than half of the 2022 increase in inflation and other cost pressures, essentially reducing the $85 per ton credit value to $68 per ton, while the cost of building and deploying projects only continues to increase.
"45Q is the foundational market driver for domestic carbon management deployment, and we appreciate the Senate Finance Committee and key Senate champions for advocating for improvements that strengthen the credit's long-term effectiveness. As the bill moves to the House for final consideration, the Coalition will continue to work with supporters in Congress to ensure that 45Q is as well-positioned as possible ahead of final passage. Ensuring 45Q remains a strong, predictable market signal is essential to deploying carbon management technologies across the American economy and maintaining our global leadership position in demonstrating and deploying these technologies."
###
The Carbon Capture Coalition (the Coalition) is a nonpartisan collaboration of more than 100 companies, labor unions, and conservation and environmental policy organizations. Coalition members work together to lay the groundwork for the necessary portfolio of federal policies to enable nationwide, commercial-scale deployment of carbon management technologies.
