Excerpt from ClimaTalk:
The Conference of the Parties (COP) is the UNFCCC platform for structured international cooperation on matters related to the climate crisis.
Conference of the Parties or COP is a relatively widespread term that designates a meeting of representatives of a certain movement or agreement. It is important to point out that when we talk about COP within ClimaTalk’s upcoming articles and analysis pieces, we refer to it as it pertains to the UNFCCC.
As such, the COP acts as the UNFCCC’s supreme decision-making body and convenes delegates from all 197 parties every year – barring a major issue – to monitor progress towards climate change targets set out at previous conferences, monitor emission inventories, and promote further climate change ambition.
