Overview of COP meetings.
Annual meeting of countries which have signed the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.
The Conference of the Parties (COP) - the supreme body of the Convention - held its first session in early 1995 in Berlin. At its third session in December 1997 the COP adopted the Kyoto Protocol, which commits developed countries to reducing their collective emissions of greenhouse gases by at least 5% by the period 2008-12. In November 1998, COP-4 agreed on the Buenos Aires Plan of Action for finalizing the Protocol’s outstanding details by COP-6, to be held in The Hague, Netherlands on 13-24 November 2000. The ultimate objective of the UNFCCC and any related legal instruments that it may adopt is to achieve, in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Convention, stabilization of greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere at a level that would prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system. Such a level should be achieved within a time frame sufficient to allow ecosystems to adapt naturally to climate change, to ensure that food production is not threatened and to enable economic development to proceed in a sustainable manner.
