The 20th session of the Conference of the Parties to the UNFCCC (COP20) is taking place 3-14 December 2014 in Lima, Peru.
The COP is the supreme decision-making body of the Convention. All States that are Parties to the Convention are represented at the COP, at which they review the implementation of the Convention and any other legal instruments that the COP adopts and take decisions necessary to promote the effective implementation of the Convention, including institutional and administrative arrangements.
The COP serves as the Meeting of the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol (CMP). All States that are Parties to the Kyoto Protocol are represented at the CMP, while States that are not Parties participate as observers. The CMP reviews the implementation of the Kyoto Protocol and takes decisions to promote its effective implementation.
A number of researchers from the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) climate change unit will be on site in Lima, Peru.
