Background
As part of the “Global Mutirão: Uniting humanity in a global mobilization against climate change” decision adopted by Parties at COP 30 in Belém, Parties decided to establish a two-year work programme on climate finance, including on Article 9, paragraph 1, of the Paris Agreement in the context of Article 9 of the Paris Agreement as a whole (hereinafter referred to as “Climate Finance Work Programme”).
Under the Climate Finance Work Programme, the Co-Chairs will convene engagement workshops, to be held in the World Conference Center Bonn (WCCB) in Bonn, Germany, in conjunction with the sixty-fourth session of the Subsidiary Bodies (SB 64), to provide a space for substantive discussions among Parties and non-Party stakeholders. The substantive focus of the workshops will be guided by the objectives outlined in the Co-Chairs’ workplan, as informed by Party submissions and consultations, and reflected in the Co-Chairs’ approach to implementing the mandate.
The engagement workshops will be open to Party and non-Party stakeholders for on-site and virtual participation. To be able to attend the workshops in-person, interested participants are asked to submit the online registration form for on-site participation of the SBs. To ensure inclusive and broader participation, the workshops will be held in a hybrid format, enabling virtual participation, and have webcast. Participants, who are not registered for SB 64 and wish to participate virtually, should complete the registration form at https://indico.un.org/event/1023905/ by Thursday, 4 June 2026, to be provided with the virtual connection details.
Three workshops will be organized. The first workshop will be among Parties, followed by a multi-stakeholder engagement and an engagement workshop among non-Party stakeholders.
Overall objectives and outcomes
Taken together, the engagement workshops are designed to:
- Advance technical work under the Climate Finance Work Programme;
- Identify areas for actions, challenges and barriers and good practices on climate finance;
- Draw on the expertise and work of Parties and non-Party stakeholders, including Multilateral Development Banks, Multilateral Climate Funds, civil society, the private sector, and academia, to enrich the engagements.
At the end of the workshops, participants are expected to have identified action areas, good practices and topics for further elaboration in subsequent engagement workshops under the Climate Finance Work Programme.

Overview: Non-Party Stakeholders operate across borders, sectors, and scales. They have direct experience of enabling conditions to drive climate finance, what barriers prevent access, and what innovations are emerging that need to be utilized.
Bringing this experience into the workshop of the Work Programme sets out a critical foundation in the implementation of the Climate Finance Work Programme. The Engagement Workshop among non-Party stakeholders aims to provide an opportunity for non-Party stakeholders to share their efforts to support the broader climate finance landscape and identify potential areas of technical work to further inform the Climate Finance Work Programme.
The workshop will open with a brief presentation by the Co-Chairs on the outcomes of the engagement workshop among Parties, followed by an open plenary discussion in which participants are invited to make interventions in response to guiding questions.
Target audience: Non-Party stakeholders (accredited observers, MDBs, climate funds, civil society, private sector, academia). While this workshop is open for Parties and non-Party stakeholders, interventions will be limited to non-Party stakeholders.
