The UN has confirmed Chile's withdrawal from hosting the International Conference on Climate Change (COP 25). The Executive Secretary of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, Patricia Espinosa, said she received direct communication from Chilean President Sebastián Piñera that his country will no longer host the event. COP 25 was scheduled to take place in Chile from December 2nd to 13th.
It is at the Conference on Climate Change that countries discuss and seal their commitments and agreements in this area. Initially, COP 25 was scheduled to take place in Brazil, but with the Brazilian president, Jair Bolsonaro, announcing his withdrawal from hosting the event in the country in 2018, Chile offered to host the meeting.
