November 11 – November 22, 2024
COP is the annual United Nations Climate Conference, also known as the Conference of Parties. In 2024, the event will be hosted in Baku, Azerbaijan.
COP convenes foreign governments and political leaders from 198 countries to discuss how policies can be implemented to slow climate change and address progress being made towards meeting the goals of the Paris Climate Change Agreement.
Attendance and speaking roles at COP are highly coveted and can be challenging, and costly, to secure. Mercom has worked with our international clients to successfully secure coveted speaking roles for CEOs and position their cleantech technologies as critical solutions for enabling the next phases of the energy transition. We also work with clients to maximize their presence at the conference through meetings with Tier 1 media outlets and networking with key policymakers.
