COP (Conference of the Parties)

The Conference of the Parties (COP) is a gathering of countries that are part of international agreements, particularly related to climate change, like the Paris Agreement. During COP meetings, government representatives discuss and negotiate actions to address global issues such as carbon emissions, climate adaptation, and sustainable development. These conferences serve as a platform for nations to share progress, set new targets, and collaborate on solutions, aiming to minimize environmental impacts and promote a sustainable future for the planet. The meetings occur annually, with each COP being numbered sequentially, reflecting its history and ongoing commitment to climate action.
