COP25 in Madrid, Spain<\/h2>\n

COP25 is formally known as the 25th session of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP). The shorter name is \u201cCOP25\u201d. It is scheduled in Madrid, Spain, December 2 \u2013 13, 2019.<\/p>\n

The conference takes place under the Presidency of the government of Chile, with logistical support from the government of Spain. The President-Designate for COP25 is Ms. Carolina Schmidt Zaldivar, Minister of the Environment, Chile.<\/p>\n

COP25 is designed to take the next crucial steps in the UN climate change process. Following agreement on the implementation guidelines of the Paris Agreement at COP24 in Katowice, Poland last year, a key objective is to complete several matters with respect to the full operationalization of the Paris Climate Change Agreement.<\/p>\n

The conference furthermore serves to\u00a0build ambition ahead of 2020, the year in which countries have committed to submit new and updated national climate action plans. Crucial climate action work will be taken forward in areas including finance, the transparency of climate action, forests and agriculture, technology, capacity building, loss and damage, indigenous peoples, cities, oceans and gender.<\/p>\n

In addition to the main COP25 meeting, there are hundreds of side events planned concurrently, providing opportunities for organizations, states, and NGOs to communicate on the topic of climate change. These are organized into three categories: Enhancing Ambition, Promoting Implementation, and Providing Support.<\/p>\n
