CDP at the UNFCCC Conference of the Parties (COP)
The Conference of the Parties (COP) is the annual UN Climate Change Conference and one of the most important international meetings of the year. It is an opportunity to measure countries’ progress towards agreed targets and negotiations take place for the next round of emissions reductions. The tracking of non-state actor progress is an important part of this process. Historic outcomes from the annual COP includes the signing of the Paris Agreement in 2015.
CDP engages with the UNFCCC’s annual Conference of the Parties (COP) to increase ambition and accelerate action by governments, corporates, capital markets, cities, states and regions.
Azerbaijan will host the UN Climate Change Conference—or COP29—in Baku from November 11 to 21. This year’s summit will focus on crucial negotiations regarding a new climate finance deal, the New Collective Quantified Goal on Climate Finance (NCQG). Countries will also prepare their new national climate action plans—or Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs)—which are to be communicated by early 2025.
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) will host the UN Climate Change Conference – or COP28 – in Dubai from 30 November - 12 December 2023. With the first Global Stocktake set to conclude in Dubai, the eyes of the world will be on non-state actors, their progress and the need for increased transparency and accountability.
In the wake of the stark findings of IPCC Sixth Assessment report and ongoing extreme weather, COP27 is set to bring the critical issues of resilience and adaptation to the fore.
