COP meetings (Conference of the Parties)

COP meetings, or Conferences of the Parties, are global gatherings where countries that have agreed to the Paris Agreement come together annually to discuss and negotiate actions to combat climate change. These meetings facilitate dialogue on reducing greenhouse gas emissions, adapting to climate impacts, and providing financial support to developing nations. Participants include government representatives, scientists, and activists working collaboratively to review progress, set new targets, and strengthen international commitments. COPs are essential for coordinating global efforts, ensuring accountability, and advancing strategies to limit global warming and protect the environment.
