The UN Climate Change Conference (COP) is occurring from December 2-13, 2019, and is taking place under the Presidency of the Government of Chile, hosted by Madrid, Spain. According to the official COP25 website, “The conference is designed to take the next crucial steps in the UN climate change process.
