Introduction to COP: Understanding Climate Negotiations

Every year, governments from across the world gather for the UNFCCC Conference of the Parties (COP) to tackle climate change.

The COPs are crucial in coordinating ambitious climate action at the global level, but many don't experience what happens behind the scenes and the headlines.

Presented by apolitical, this course gives public servants a solid understanding of the aim of the COPs, how the process works and how to identify spaces for action and influence.

At the end of the course, learners will understand how the UNFCCC process goes about addressing the problems it was designed to tackle, what they can expect from the COPs and how it fits into the wider policy landscape.

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

  • Outline the historical context and distinguish between UNFCCC, COP and the Paris Agreement
  • Understand the UNFCCC process and distinguish between relevant bodies
  • Understand what happens at COP and identify spaces for action and influence at different levels of government
