UN Climate Change Conference Bonn SB62
June 16 - 26, 2025
Since its inaugural presence at COP28 in Dubai, E+C has grown into a transformative platform, uniting policymakers, artists, activists, and cultural leaders. In 2025, E+C will build on this momentum with a decentralized presence at SB62 in Bonn, organizing a series of events throughout the two-week conference. These events will be part of the City of Bonn’s Summer of Change program, which aims to bridge the cultural and climate policy spheres.

Equip cultural and heritage stakeholders with strategies to ensure meaningful climate action at COP30 in Belém.
