UNFCCC Climate COP29
14-20 November 2024 | Baku, Azerbaijan

CONTEXT:

​

The Climate COP, or Conference of the Parties, is an annual gathering under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), where countries negotiate and make decisions on global climate policy. It serves as a platform for discussing and implementing measures to address climate change, including emissions reduction targets, adaptation strategies, and financial support for developing nations.

This year, the COP29 will be held in Baku, Azerbaijan and will focus on the Loss and Damage Fund, Article 6 of the climate finance program, adaptation and mitigation measures. This is an important COP for Australia, as we will find out whether our bid to host the COP31 in 2027 has been successful.
