IEF at Bonn Climate conference

Climate Strategies organised an official side event on 16 June 2025 at the Bonn Climate Change conference, co-hosted by Trinidad and Tobago’s Ministry of Planning, Economic Affairs and Development and Transparency International. The speakers explored whether equitable and people-centred climate solutions can help bridge divides in an increasingly fractured world, and explored the role that Just Transitions can play in rebuilding trust in multilateral cooperation.

Opening remarks from seasoned environmental diplomat Kishan Kumarsingh, and a research presentation by IEF board member Sylvia Karlsson-Vinkhuyzen set the stage for a dynamic panel discussion.

Panelists addressed the challenge of Just Transitions and multilateralism from several perspectives:
🔹 Brice Böhmer highlighted questions around accountability and governance reform
🔹 Alexia Faus Onbargi shared views on sustainable development and economic resilience
🔹 Joel Muhinda, MBA, LLM, MSc explored how to align financial systems with the goals of Just Transitions
