Climate Negotiations
The Conference of the Parties (COP) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the Paris Agreement are the official and most central forums for discussing international climate change action at international level. In December 2015, the COP21 Paris Conference adopted the Paris Agreement, which sets out the framework for the post-Kyoto Protocol. The agreement met the conditions for entry into force on November 4, 2016, about a year later, and subsequent meetings of the Conference of the Parties have been held to discuss the detailed rules for implementing the Paris Agreement and to discuss climate finance.
