Deep dives
What is COP?
COP, or the Conference of the Parties, is an annual meeting where representatives from around the world gather to negotiate and come to an agreement on how to adapt and limit climate change. This conference is organized by the United Nations and aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and develop a global plan. Countries make pledges, known as nationally determined contributions (NDCs), to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. COP provides an opportunity to assess progress, update commitments, and discuss the best strategies to tackle climate change.
