Room 12: COPXX - UN Climate Change Conferences.

COPs (Conference of the Parties) assess progress in dealing with climate change. See Wikipedia - United Nations Climate Change Conferences for detailed accounts of past COPs.

2026 United Nations Climate Change Conference, COP31 - 9 to 20 November 2026.

State of the Planet:
How Do We Make COP32 Deliver on Climate Goals?
"Now, as the world heads toward two critical climate conferences, COP31 in Antalya, Türkiye, this November - which will launch the second global stocktake, a review of how far the world is from the Paris Agreement goals - and COP32 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, in 2027, a fundamental question looms: Can the international community finally move from making climate promises to implementing them?"

Greenpeace:
What's at stake at COP31 Antalya and why it matters for global climate safety
"With exceptionally high land and ocean surface temperatures triggering wild climate extremes, governments must accelerate efforts to solve the escalating climate crisis at COP31 Antalya. Oil and gas companies and nature destroyers continued to profit at the public's expense as communities increasingly face so-called 'natural disasters'."

Center for Climate and Energy Solutions:
COP31 Insights: Loss and damage is a global threat. Are Parties prepared to address it?
"The loss and damage architecture under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) is beginning to deliver. The institutions are operational; technical support is being provided; and countries are integrating loss and damage into their policies. But this progress falls short of the scale and pace needed to address the loss and damage devastating communities."

2025 United Nations Climate Change Conference, COP30.
The main success of COP30 held in Brazil, from 10 to 21 November 2025 appears to be that a final text was actually produced, fossil fuels not even mentioned let alone phasing them out! Unbelievable!


Rose Kobusing, Founder and Director of Vital Crest Uganda at COP30. "What I did not expect was how clearly the events outside the conference would expose the weaknesses inside it."

This column is being regularly updated with some of the latest links to COP31 comment and discussion.
