The suspension of COP 25 in Chile: Climate Change and a Just transition
On 30 October, after two weeks of mass demonstrations, the Chilean government cancelled the twenty-fifth Conference of the Parties (COP25) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. COP 25 was scheduled for December in Santiago, Chile.
