The Conference of the Parties (COP) of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) is the most important global meeting dedicated to this issue. The COP is composed of all countries that have signed and ratified the Convention, making it one of the largest multilateral bodies within the United Nations system. 

Held annually, the conference brings together public authorities, political leaders, private sector representatives, non-governmental organizations, and civil society to formalize international commitments related to greenhouse gas mitigation, adaptation to climate change and climate finance. Over two weeks, representatives of the Parties engage in negotiations on priority topics, including the adoption of agreements.  

The 31st session of the Conference of the Parties (COP31) will take place at a pivotal moment in the global climate agenda. Hosted through a partnership between Türkiye and Australia, the conference will coincide with significant milestones, including 20 years since the entry into force of the Kyoto Protocol and 10 years since the adoption of the Paris Agreement.

Building on the outcomes of COP30, Brazil will continue to play an important role in strengthening multilateral cooperation and advancing the implementation of climate commitments agreed in previous conferences.
