signed at the Rio Earth Summit in June 1992 to prevent dangerous
human interference in the climate system. The acronym COP

the highest legislative body overseeing the implementation of the
Framework Convention on Climate Change.

A total of 198 countries are parties to the convention. Unless
the parties have decided otherwise, COP is held annually. The first
COP event was held in March 1995 in Berlin, and its secretariat is
located in Bonn.
