Importance of COP Meetings
The COP meetings, organized by the UNFCCC, serve as the primary platform for global discussions on climate change, focusing on policy agreements and negotiations among countries. The upcoming COP29 in Baku is set to address significant issues despite a smaller attendance compared to last year's COP28 in Dubai, where over 100,000 attendees were recorded. These meetings not only facilitate climate action commitments but also ensure ongoing dialogues, presenting opportunities for countries to refine their strategies in combating climate change. The meetings underscore the necessity of collaborative efforts, where each country is motivated to discuss and address crucial climate challenges.
