Thank you for taking the lead on this Henry. Your idea that COP events should also benefit the host country in lasting ways is thoughtful and so positive. https://t.co/IRDJx9FoBF

At #COP25 the UK pavilion is right next door to the Italy pavilion. Which has some obvious advantages… pic.twitter.com/QmZL71rX68

History
The 25th session of the Conference of the Parties (COP 25) to the UNFCCC was planned to take place from November 11-22, 2019 in Brazil. Upon election as President of Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro pulled Brazil out of hosting the event.
COP 25 was then scheduled to take place in Parque Bicentenario Cerrillos in Santiago de Chile, Chile from December 2-23 with a pre-sessional period from November 26 to December 1, 2019. Since mid-October, Chile has seen massive protests against the government’s neoliberal policies and high cost of living. Chilean President Sebastián Piñera canceled the summits to lessen the anger of protesters. The United Nations issued a statement that they were searching for alternative hosting options.
