The COP Presidencies Troika was a key achievement of the COP28 Presidency mandated by the UAE Consensus. The "Troika" unites COP28 with the next two COP Presidencies - Azerbaijan (COP 29) and Brazil (COP 30) - to drive ambitious collective climate action. The three will work on the ‘Roadmap to Mission 1.5°C’ as well as climate financing mechanisms.
