Climate summit in Bonn is lauching. It is a ground for next year’s conference in Katowice
Climate summit in Bonn is preparing ground for next year’s conference in Katowice, during which new directions of realization of global climate agreement are going to be set – said the minister of environment Jan Szyszko.

It will be crucial, because we have to set a road to realization of a global climate deal that will be in power from 2020 – said the minister.
60 countries agreed that a new implementation package for the Paris Agreement will be accepted next year in Katowice.
