| English definition |
the COP is the supreme body of the Convention. It currently meets every two year to review and steer the Convention's progress. The word 'conference' is not used here in the sense of 'meeting' but rather of 'association', which explains the seemingly redundant expression 'fifth meeting of the Conference of the Parties'. <a href=http://www.biodiv.org/convention/cops.asp>Overview of COP meetings</a>. |
