The acronym COP stands for “Conference of the Parties” and refers to the highest decision-making body responsible for overseeing implementation of the UNFCCC. The Convention has 198 member states. Unless otherwise decided by the parties, the COP is held annually. The first COP event was held in Berlin in March 1995, and its secretariat is located in Bonn.
