Foreign Minister Gedion Timothewos, designated president of COP32, is holding talks in Antalya with future partners of the climate conference. Ethiopia wants to host COP32 in Addis Ababa in November 2027 and present its climate initiatives, according to the minister as cited by the news agency Fanamc.
Ethiopia is mobilising international partners for its COP32, according to Foreign Minister Gedion Timothewos, President-designate of COP32. In an interview with Ethiopian media in Antalya, Türkiye, where COP31 is taking place from 9 to 20 November 2026, he said the country wants to build momentum and forge partnerships ahead of the conference planned for November 2027 in Addis Ababa.
The minister said his country is working with the Turkish and Australian COP31 presidencies to ensure the ongoing negotiations produce constructive outcomes. The Ethiopian pavilion is hosting debates and forums to present its preparations, and the Ethiopian team is gaining hands-on experience of organising a major climate conference. He thanked the COP30 presidency and the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) for their support.
This effort is part of the work of the Finance Minister, who is already seeking to attract climate investment ahead of COP32.
