UN Climate Change conferences (or COPs) take place every year and are the world\u2019s only multilateral decision-making forum on climate change with almost complete membership of every country in the world.<\/p>\n

The COP is where the world comes together to agree on ways to address the climate crisis, such as limiting global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius, helping vulnerable communities adapt to the effects of climate change and achieving net-zero emissions by 2050.<\/p>\n

More than 70,000 delegates are expected to attend COP30, including the member states of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). Business leaders, young people, climate scientists, Indigenous Peoples, journalists, and various other experts and stakeholders are also among the participants.<\/p>\n

Officially, COP30 stands for the 30th<\/sup>\u00a0meeting of the Conference of the Parties (COP) to the UNFCCC.<\/p>\n

A Decade of Acceleration Must Begin in Bel\u00e9m<\/strong><\/p>\n

Leaders acknowledge that ambition gaps remain to keep 1.5C in reach and deliver on finance and adaptation. The technologies and tools needed to decarbonise energy, transport, and industry, protect forests, and strengthen resilience are already available. The challenge now is to accelerate scale.<\/p>\n

With COP30 imminent, the Secretary-General urged all countries yet to finalise their NDCs to do so without delay: \u201cCOP30 in Brazil must conclude with a credible global response plan to get us on track.\u201d<\/p>\n

Deputy Secretary-General Amina Mohammed said, \u201cLeaders across the world have stood together to show that even at a moment of division and uncertainty, the resolve and determination to fight the climate crisis is alive and strong.\u201d<\/p>\n
