UNFCCC COP

We break down complicated UN processes and simplify the negotiations and agreements. ClimaTalk also uplifts youth voices at the conferences, giving them a platform to share their insights, experiences and demands, and inspiring other young people to get involved in international climate policy.

ClimaTalk has conducted award-winning live coverage from eight international climate conferences: COP26, COP27, SB58, COP28, SB60, COP29, SB62 and COP30.

We’re very happy to announce the beta of our brand new ClimaTalk UNFCCC COP Explorer; navigate the language, key acheivements, articles, factsheets, and much more…
