\n \n \n <\/span>\n The United Nations-led Conference of the Parties (COP) is one of the most important international platforms where countries worldwide gather to make joint decisions in the fight against climate change. This annual summit aims to strengthen cooperation among countries to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, limit global temperature rise, and support sustainable development goals. COP meetings determine the direction of global climate policies with broad participation, including not only governments but also scientists, the private sector, and civil society. <\/span>\n \n <\/span>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
