The two-week UN Climate Change Conference COP25, began on December 2 at Madrid in Spain, with urgent calls to make serious progress on climate action.
The conference is taking place under the Presidency of the Government of Chile with logistical support from the Government of Spain.
The key objective of COP25 is to raise overall ambition also by completing several key aspects with respect to the full operationalisation of the Paris Climate Change Agreement.
Yesterday, two publications, which were a part of the work of UN Climate Change with experts and civil society groups, were presented at the conference.
