The reflective process of the 2023 Bonn Climate Change Conference involves examining my initial expectations, reflecting on the conference experience, and identifying key takeaways that significantly impacted my professional development and understanding of climate change. This exercise aims to deepen my knowledge of global developments in climate change mitigation, adaptation, and financing. The conference serves as a powerful platform for raising awareness and promoting change. Additionally, I hope to inspire greater participation in the engineering community, leveraging this conference to increase public awareness about climate change and the vital role engineering plays in addressing these challenges.
