Heading back down to day 5 of #BonnClimateConference the walk up the Rhine, into a warm Easterly wind is stunning. This afternoon will see a Friday’s for Future (@GretaThunberg) protest from around 4.30pm

The UkraineWar and wider issues related to Geopolitics are having an increasing impact at #BonnClimateConference on day three of the #COP28 intersessional meeting which concludes on June 15.
On Day 1 of #BonnClimateConference Ukraine and Russia exchanged words in the extended opening plenary about the war. The meeting was ultimately adjourned due to a lack of agreement on the formal Agenda. (Albeit not related to the war)

During the exchanges several delegations… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
