US EditionEthiopia set to host UN's 2027 climate summit, 2026 undecided
Ethiopia will host the 2027 UN climate summit while the 2026 host remains undecided, highlighting ongoing planning challenges for the global event.
- At a plenary session this year in Belem, Brazil, Ethiopia was endorsed to host COP32 in 2027 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
- Ethiopia won its bid and secured the COP presidency role, letting it set summit goals after fending off a rival bid from Nigeria, rival bidder.
- Ethiopia's ambassador told the plenary the endorsement still needs official adoption but that step is now considered a formality.
- Next year the host choice remains unresolved after months of deadlock between Turkey and Australia, and if the impasse continues the conference would be held in Bonn, Germany, where Jochen Flasbarth said `We would have to, but we do not want to`.
- Regional rules require unanimity, complicating the Western Europe and Others group's decision as Australia made its COP31 bid with the Pacific Islands, highly vulnerable to climate change.
