197 countries to participate in 14th conference of parties to be held at India Expo Mart, Greater Noida

Greater Noida: India Expo Mart Greater Noida is soon going to hold one of World’s biggest International event on the issues concerning environmental change.

The Conference of Parties, known as COP, is the decision-making body responsible for monitoring and reviewing the implementation of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. It brings together the 197 nations and territories – called Parties – that have signed on to the Framework Convention.

The Conference will this year be organised between September 2 to 13 at Greater Noida’s World-class exhibition and convention centre.

Announcing the same Union Minister Prakash Javadekar said, “The 14th session of COP will stress on three crucial issues…desertification, land degradation and drought. Due to the extreme weather conditions in the country, India had launched ‘soil health card’ which has benefitted as many as 14 crore farmers”.

Organising the event at India Expo Mart also holds significance as this large convention centre functions completely on renewable solar energy, thus adding it’s bit to the cause of environmental concerns.
