COP23 is the 23rd session of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). COP meetings are held annually to assess progress on addressing climate change. COP23 aims to advance the implementation of the Paris Agreement by facilitating collaboration between countries, developing technologies for net zero emissions economies, and giving a voice to vulnerable nations. While Fiji holds the presidency of COP23, the conference is being hosted in Germany due to Fiji's limited facilities to accommodate such a large meeting.
