The United Nations Climate Change Conferences happen every year and serve as the formal meeting of UNFCCC parties, a space for negotiations on climate goals, and a global forum for multilateral discussions on matters related to climate change. This year’s conference is the 29th session of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, or COP29. It is taking place in Baku, Azerbaijan from 11-22 November.
There are many topics on the agenda for COP29, including around the key issue areas of mitigation, adaptation, and loss and damage.
