From June 8 to 13, 2026, upon the invitation of the Secretariat of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), the Center for Energy and Environmental Policy Research at Beijing Institute of Technology (CEEP‑BIT) participated in the 64th Sessions of the UNFCCC Subsidiary Bodies as a UNFCCC observer organization. Professor Cong Ronggang and Associate Researcher Liu Lijing attended the 64th Sessions of the UNFCCC Subsidiary Bodies (SB64) in Bonn, Germany, as institutional representatives.

During the conference, Professor Cong Ronggang and Associate Researcher Liu Lijing took part in multiple meetings and authorized events focusing on key SB64 agenda items, with particular attention to the Greenhouse‑Gas Data Interface (GHG Data Interface), the Facilitative Multilateral Consideration of Progress (FMCP), and the Baku‑Belém Roadmap to 1.3T. They also exchanged views with relevant staff from the United Nations University Partnership Programme (UNUPP) on future joint postgraduate training, young‑scholar exchanges and collaborative climate‑change research, laying a foundation for deepened bilateral cooperation going forward.

The Sessions of the UNFCCC Subsidiary Bodies constitute a key permanent meeting mechanism within the global climate‑governance system. Usually held in Bonn, Germany every mid‑year, its agenda is advanced jointly by the Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice (SBSTA) and the Subsidiary Body for Implementation (SBI). The conference undertakes critical functions including technical preparation, policy deliberation and agenda coordination for the annual UN Climate Change Conference. It serves as an important platform for national governments, international organizations, research institutions and observer bodies to engage in global climate governance.
