The COP 23 Conference on Climate Change, chaired by the Fiji, is held in Bonn, Germany from 6-17 November 2017. 

The program focuses on the implementation of the Paris Agreement.

COP 23

The 2021 UN climate change conference (COP26) took place from 1 to 12 November 2021 in Glasgow.&nbsp;The EU and its Member States took&nbsp;part as Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).

The annual Conference of the Parties (COP) to the UNFCCC brought&nbsp;together governments from around the world to agree coordinated action to tackle climate change. The conference was&nbsp;also a space for governments, businesses, local authorities and civil society to discuss and showcase climate action. The COP26 was&nbsp;the first stocktaking of the implementation of the Paris Agreement.

After two weeks of negotiations, the Glasgow Climate Pact was adopted on Saturday 13 November.

Parliament has been pushing for more ambitious EU climate legislation, and declared a&nbsp;climate emergency&nbsp;on 28 November 2019. In June 2021, the&nbsp;European Climate Law&nbsp;was adopted by Parliament. It transforms the&nbsp;European Green Deal’s political commitment to EU climate neutrality by 2050 into a binding obligation for the EU and its member states. It also increases the EU’s target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 from 40% to at least 55%, compared to 1990 levels. In July 2021, the Commission presented the&nbsp;“Fit for 55 in 2030” package&nbsp;to enable the EU to reach the more ambitious 2030-target.

COP 26 in Glasgow

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.
