Hi folks, I'm looking to speak with people who have attended several COPs for a Devex article on how to make the most out of this massive climate event. Any leads? 🙏

In case you missed it, here is a chart that shows the number of standard deviations for the global temperature above/below the 1981-2010 mean for each September from 1979 through 2023.
