 2^nd-13^th  December—Conference of the Parties (COP 25).

The UN Climate Change Conference COP 25 is being held in Madrid, under the Presidency of the Government of Chile, with logistical support from the Government of Spain.

At the Paris Agreement, adopted in 2015, countries agreed to increase efforts to limit global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial temperatures and to boost finance for climate action. COP 25 is the final COP before we enter the defining year of 2020, when many nations must submit new climate action plans. Among the many elements that need to be clarified is the financing of climate action worldwide.

Currently, not enough is being done to meet the three climate goals:

• reducing emissions 45 per cent by 2030;
• achieving climate neutrality by 2050 (which means a net zero carbon footprint), and
• stabilizing global temperature rise at 1.5°C by the end of the century.

Because the clock is ticking on climate change, the world cannot afford to waste more time, and a bold, decisive, ambitious way forward needs to be agreed.

Please pray for the success of COP 25.
