COP28 held in Dubai on December 11 last year. Within two weeks,

The UN Framework Convention on Climate Change is an agreement
signed at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro in June 1992 to
prevent dangerous human interference in the climate system. The
acronym COP (Conference of Parties) stands for Conference of
Parties, which is the highest legislative body overseeing the
implementation of the Framework Convention on Climate Change. A
total of 198 countries are parties to the convention. Unless the
parties decide otherwise, COP is held annually. The first COP event
was held in March 1995 in Germany's Berlin, and its secretariat is
based in Bonn.
