What is COP30 and where and when is it taking place?

World leaders will soon gather for their annual meeting on how to tackle climate change.

COP30 is taking place ten years after the Paris climate agreement set out a plan to restrict the rise in global temperatures to 1.5C.

COP30 is the 30th annual UN climate meeting, where governments discuss how to limit and prepare for further climate change.

COP stands for "Conference of the Parties". "Parties" refers to the nearly 200 countries that signed up to the original UN climate agreement in 1992.

COP30 officially runs from Monday 10 November to Friday 21 November.
