The Conference of Parties (COP) is the United Nations' premier global forum dedicated to addressing climate change.
Comprising 198 countries and the European Union, the COP is the highest decision-making body on climate issues under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
The 29th session of the COP (COP29) will take place in Azerbaijan from November 11th to November 22nd, 2024. This two-week global mega-event will gather heads of state, climate experts, political leaders, young people, and civil society 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.
The COP29 event will feature two main zones: the Blue Zone and the Green Zone.
The Blue Zone, managed by the UNFCCC, is open to accredited delegates only and will host formal negotiations, the World Climate Action Summit and country pavilions.
The Green Zone, managed by the COP29 Presidency, will be open to non-accredited delegates such as businesses, the public, youth groups, civil society, academia, and artists. This space offers a platform for the private sector to showcase their contributions to the global climate challenge through innovative approaches, climate action technologies, and entrepreneurship.

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.

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.
