The Conference of Parties (COP) is a series of formal meetings where governments assess global efforts to advance the Paris Agreement and limit global warming to 1.5°C as estimated by the latest scientific data. At the COP meetings, world leaders come together to measure progress and negotiate the best ways to address Climate Change.
