WMO at COP29

WMO supports the United Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) process and every year participates in sessions of the Conference of the Parties (COP), by providing the latest scientific advice and information to governments, including on the state of the climate and greenhouse gas concentrations.

A top-level delegation from WMO will attend COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan from 11 to 22 November 2024. 

COP29 will be a milestone moment for global climate action. The COP29 Presidency’s plan is based on two mutually reinforcing parallel pillars. The first pillar—to “enhance ambition”—combines key elements to ensure all parties commit to ambitious national plans and transparency. The second pillar—to “enable action”—reflects the critical role of finance, a key tool to turn ambition into action and reduce emissions, adapt to climate change and address loss and damage.

At the WMO-IPCC-MERI Science for Climate Action Pavilion, dedicated sessions will be allocated to the above-mentioned topics, with the aim of furthering the understanding of challenges, solutions, and opportunities for the climate change community.
