COP (Conference of the Parties)
COP is the annual United Nations climate change conference where signatory nations to the UNFCCC negotiate and review global action on climate change.
What is COP (Conference of the Parties)?
The Conference of the Parties (COP) is the supreme decision-making body of the UNFCCC. COP meetings bring together nearly 200 countries to negotiate climate agreements, review progress, and set the direction for global climate action. Landmark outcomes include the Paris Agreement (COP21, 2015), the Glasgow Climate Pact (COP26, 2021), and the first Global Stocktake (COP28, 2023). COP decisions shape the policy environment within which businesses operate and set the ambition level for national climate targets.
Practical Examples
The Paris Agreement was adopted at COP21 in 2015, establishing the 1.5°C and well-below 2°C temperature goals that now define corporate climate ambition.
At COP26 in Glasgow, over 150 countries signed the Global Methane Pledge, signalling intensified action on methane emissions.
