A COP30 is the 30th Conference of the Parties (COP) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). It is a major international meeting where world leaders, negotiators, scientists and civil society discuss actions to address climate change, including emissions reductions, adaptation, finance, technology transfer, and capacity-building. The event typically lasts about two weeks and brings together virtually all UNFCCC Parties to negotiate and advance climate policy, with follow-up decisions implemented by each party. Context for COP30

• Purpose: to negotiate and advance global climate action, with emphasis on keeping global warming well below 2°C, aiming for 1.5°C, and to address finance, mitigation, adaptation, loss and damage, and implementation of Paris Agreement commitments. [O COP cotinha](javascript:void(0))
