2019 United Nations Climate Change Conference, UN conference in Spain
The 2019 United Nations Climate Change Conference was the 25th meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change and took place in Madrid. The gathering brought together government representatives, experts, and observers to discuss measures for reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
The conference was the 25th meeting in a series that began in 1995 and took place in 2019. Madrid became the host city after other initially planned countries withdrew due to domestic unrest.
The event brought together international leaders, environmental activists, and concerned citizens to discuss climate change solutions.
The event was a multilateral negotiation meeting primarily open to delegates from member states and accredited observer organizations. The general public could demonstrate on site and follow this global discussion from designated protest areas.
The conference was originally planned for Brazil, then moved to Chile, and finally held in Madrid after both countries withdrew their hosting due to domestic political crises. This triple venue change within weeks was unprecedented in the history of these annual meetings.
