If we are to build a more sustainable world, we must work together and take urgent and impactful climate action now.
Join us at the COP29 Green Zone, where innovation meets action, and together, we can pave the way for a sustainable and resilient future.
About COP29
The Conference of the Parties (COP) is the premier global forum of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), dedicated to addressing climate change.
Comprising 198 countries and the European Union, COP is the highest decision-making body on climate issues under the UNFCCC.
The 29th session of COP (COP29) will take place in Baku, Azerbaijan from 11 to 22 November 2024. This two-week global mega-event will gather heads of state, climate experts, political leaders, young people, and civil society actors to collaborate on the urgent challenge of climate
change.
As the world’s most significant climate conference, COP29 will serve as a pivotal platform for negotiating international climate policies, advancing climate action, and fostering global cooperation to achieve a sustainable and resilient future.
Serving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
Adopted by all UN Member States as part of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the 17 SDGs are a universal call to action that address a broad range of social, economic and environmental challenges to improve the lives and prospects of people around the world.
By integrating these four key SDGs into the agenda with the overarching theme being climate action, COP29 will galvanize global players at the event, to resolve these critical challenges and do their part for the planet and the communities that inhabit it.
Join us in policy discussions, exploring innovations and collaborating on solutions to achieve a better, healthier and more sustainable solution for everyone on the planet.

Framework for action
Our Fixed Objective
We all have a moral duty to avoid overshooting the 1.5°C temperature target. But the window of opportunity is closing and we must focus on the need to invest today to save tomorrow. Our fixed priority is delivering deep, rapid and sustained emission reductions now to keep temperatures under control and stay below 1.5°C, while leaving no one behind.
Enhance ambition and enable action
The COP29 Presidency’s plan is based on two mutually reinforcing parallel pillars. The first
pillar — to “enhance ambition” — combines key elements to ensure all parties commit to
ambitious national plans and transparency. The second pillar — to “enable action” —
reflects the critical role of finance, a key tool to turn ambition into action and reduce
emissions, adapt to climate change and address loss and damage
Inclusive process for inclusive outcomes
The COP29 Presidency is listening to and engaging with a broad range of international stakeholders. It is working to ensure everyone’s voices are heard and perspectives are considered and included so that we deliver inclusive outcomes based on shared solutions. We are optimistic that together we can make real progress.
