COP32

32nd Conference of the Parties

COP32 brings delegates into one of the most consequential forums in contemporary international diplomacy: the global negotiation of climate action. As the Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, COP is where states with vastly different resources, responsibilities, and vulnerabilities come together to negotiate the international response to a changing planet.

At NoviceNations 2027, the focus will be on climate injustice and the disproportionate burden placed on developing countries, many of which face some of the most severe effects of climate change despite having contributed comparatively little to global emissions. Delegates will grapple with questions of climate finance, adaptation, loss and damage, historical responsibility, and fairness as they seek solutions that balance national interests with the need for a more equitable global response.

How big will this committee be? This will be a large committee.

Is this a single- or double-delegate committee? This is a double-delegate committee, so delegates will work in pairs to represent their assigned country or position together.

How much experience do I need to sign up for this committee? While delegates of all skill levels are welcome, this committee is particularly well suited to newer delegates. The double-delegate format allows less experienced or more nervous delegates to collaborate closely with a partner. It is a particularly good choice for delegates interested in climate change, global inequality, sustainable development, and international cooperation.

How much will I have to speak in this committee? Due to the large size of this committee, delegates should expect to speak a few times in each session. The format also allows some flexibility, so delegates can choose to contribute more or less depending on their confidence and whether they want to challenge themselves.

How will debate be structured in this committee? This committee will follow our standard Rules of Procedure.
