It’s Official: Climate Talks Will Take Place in Madrid, From 2-13 December

1 November 2019 | Madrid will host the 25th Conference of the Parties (COP 25) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) from December 2 through 13, the UNFCCC announced today.

The talks, originally planned to take place in Brazil, were switched to Chile late last year, after the election of Jair Bolsonaro as President of Brazil. Chile was forced to withdraw as host after weeks of civil unrest, but Spain offered to host the event, with Chile still acting as chair.
