COP (Conference Of the Parties)
The Conference of the Parties (COP) is a formal sub-group of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) that meets every year to discuss strategies for mitigating climate change. The COP is responsible for verifying and enforcing the commitments made by each party in order to reduce global emissions. During these meetings, policy makers from different countries come together to negotiate binding emissions targets, set rules, and take action to ensure those targets are met. Each country is also required to report progress on their efforts to reduce emissions in order to hold the other countries accountable. The COP serves as an important forum for international cooperation in addressing the climate crisis.
