Since its last major review in 2012, the Portal has evolved significantly. Now, we want to hear from you.

The 21st session of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), or COP21, will be held on the Paris-Le Bourget site, bringing together around 40,000 participants in total - delegates representing each country, observers, and civil society members. It is the largest diplomatic event ever hosted by France and one of the largest climate conferences ever organized.
The aim of the conference is to achieve a legally binding and universal agreement on climate, from all nations of the world and boost the transition towards resilient, low-carbon societies and economies.
