Denmark is preparing for the Copenhagen Climate Ministerial when climate ministers and leaders from around the world meet in Copenhagen on 7-8 May for the Copenhagen Climate Ministerial. The meeting marks an important step towards the UN climate summit COP30 in Brazil. The Ministry of Climate, Energy and Utilities writes in a press release.
Around 40 ministers and leaders are expected to participate in the meeting, which will take place during a period when the world's countries must submit new national climate contributions up to 2035. The goal is to bring countries closer to the obligations resulting from the Paris Agreement.
– Global climate focus and common ground have never been more important than they are now, and all too often forest fires, droughts and floods remind us of the seriousness. At a time when we unfortunately see other countries stepping on the brakes, we need to stand together to ensure that the future is green. That is why I am pleased that we can once again this year bring together key players from around the world on the climate agenda in Copenhagen, says Minister for Climate, Energy and Utilities Lars Aagaard.
Lars Aagaard is chairing the meeting together with the incoming COP30 President André do Lago from Brazil and the outgoing COP29 President Mukhtar Babayev from Azerbaijan.
Denmark will also play a central role at COP30, where the country, together with the EU Commission, will lead the EU's negotiating delegation by virtue of the Danish EU presidency in 2025.
The Copenhagen Climate Ministerial was held for the first time in 2022. The ministerial meetings take place in collaboration with the current and incoming COP presidency and bring together, in addition to ministers, UN actors, civil society organizations and other stakeholders.
