Conference of the Parties (COP)

As part of our long-standing status as a registered observer for the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) COPs, University of Sheffield academics and students have been attending COP for a number of years to share our expertise and knowledge with global leaders. 

Our representatives at COP are available for media comment about their research and the experience of attending the conference. For more information contact the University Media Team.

COP28

In 2023, University of Sheffield representatives were present at COP28 to share our research and help contribute towards the aims of the conference. We prioritise PhD and early year researchers who have a research interest in COP as attendees, helping them to build their knowledge and understanding of global climate politics and communicate their experience back to the wider University and public audiences.
