Ethiopia has been selected to host the 32nd United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP32), scheduled to take place in 2027, after edging out Nigeria in a closely contested bid.
Richard Muyingi, chair of the African group of negotiators (AGN), confirmed the development to TheCable, noting that Ethiopia’s bid was endorsed during a meeting held last week after the country resubmitted its expression of interest.
“The matter was discussed by the African group in a meeting last week, and Ethiopia was confirmed as the host of COP32,” Muyingi said.
The hosting of COPs rotates among different regions, with Africa due to host the high-level climate summit in 2032.
