The 15th Petersberg Climate Dialogue will bring together high-level representatives from around 40 countries to discuss concrete steps towards overcoming the climate crisis and strengthen confidence both in multilateral climate negotiations and between countries. The Dialogue will focus on cross-cutting themes in preparation for the 2024 UN Climate Change Conference (UNFCCC COP 29), which will convene in November 2024 in Baku, Azerbaijan. 

The SDG Knowledge Hub reported that the COP Presidencies Troika, comprising the United Arab Emirates (UAE) COP 28 Presidency, the Azerbaijani COP 29 Presidency, and the Brazilian COP 30 Presidency, will host a series of high-level political convenings to assess barriers to nationally determined contributions’ (NDCs) development, including meetings during the Germany-hosted 15th Petersberg Climate Dialogue and at other events. These meetings will discuss the “quantity and quality of support needed” to ensure NDCs can deliver just climate transitions aligned with the 1.5°C goal.

The Petersberg Climate Dialogue was launched in 2010 by former German Chancellor Angela Merkel and brings together selected states on an annual basis to prepare the ground for successful negotiations at the UNFCCC Climate Change Conferences.
