The UN’s COP (Conference of the Parties) events are critical international gatherings that address urgent global climate change issues. These conferences bring together representatives from countries that are parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). The primary objective of the COP events is to diligently assess progress in dealing with climate change and engage in negotiations to implement effective policies and measures to combat its impacts.
This year, the gathering, which marks the 28th meeting, will explore the conclusion of the inaugural Global Stocktake, a comprehensive assessment of the implementation of the Paris Agreement. Conducted every five years over two years, the Stocktake evaluates the collective progress made by the world toward its climate objectives.
