From 2 to 13 December 2019, the 25th Conference of the Parties (COP25) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) takes place in Madrid.

Under the presidency of Chile, which had originally planned to host the conference, delegates continue to negotiate the rules for international cooperation in climate change mitigation and discuss issues such as adap-tation and support to developing countries.

The draft resolution calls for the European Green Deal, announced by Ursula von der Leyen, President-elect of the EC, to include a target of 55% emissions reductions by 2030 in order to be able to reach its target on climate neutrality by 2050.
