Executive Committee
UNFCC Conference of the Parties (COP)
"What is the COP?
The COP is the supreme decision-making body of the Convention. All States that are Parties to the Convention are represented at the COP, at which they review the implementation of the Convention and any other legal instruments that the COP adopts and take decisions necessary to promote the effective implementation of the Convention, including institutional and administrative arrangements.
More Background on the COP
A key task for the COP is to review the national communications and emission inventories submitted by Parties. Based on this information, the COP assesses the effects of the measures taken by Parties and the progress made in achieving the ultimate objective of the Convention.
The COP meets every year, unless the Parties decide otherwise. The first COP meeting was held in Berlin, Germany in March, 1995. The COP meets in Bonn, the seat of the secretariat, unless a Party offers to host the session. Just as the COP Presidency rotates among the five recognized UN regions - that is, Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean, Central and Eastern Europe and Western Europe and Others – there is a tendency for the venue of the COP to also shift among these groups."

Marelaine Formosa
Marelaine Formosa, a 21-year-old law student at the University of Malta, has been in student organisations in Malta for a number of years, being passionate in activism, and advocating for social justice and minority rights. Her Model United Nations (MUN) journey began with PolMUN, eventually
leading her to become the International Officer for the Malta Model United Nations Society (MaltMUN) last year. In this role, she has taken delegates abroad and participated in numerous MUNs as a delegate, including MUNUSAL, MUNLawS, and KULMUN. Currently, while she is the Executive Secretary of MaltMUN, Marelaine serves as the Financial Officer for the Malta National Youth Council (KNÅ»). Her enthusiasm for MUNs remains undiminished, fuelled by her past experiences as a delegate and chairing experience at MUNUSAL. She is thrilled to continue her MUN journey as a chair in Germany, a country she has never visited, eager for the memorable experiences ahead!
Titi Habicht
Titi is a student of International Relations from Ljubljana, Slovenia. She is completing her bachelor's degree with an Erasmus exchange in Leuven, Belgium. She has been a part of the MUN world for more than two years, and she truly believes it was the best decision she has ever made. When she's not MUN-ing, you can find her at the gym, on a rave, cuddling with her overweight cat or catching up with friends. Titi is interested in European institutions, and topics such as environmental protection, security issues and youth participation. She also serves as the Youth Climate Delegate for Slovenia.
