Quakers attended the UN Climate Change Conference (COP23) that took place from 6 to 17 November in Bonn, Germany.

The nations of the world gathered with the aim of moving forward on the ambitions of the 2015 Paris Agreement. Syria signed the Agreement during COP23, leaving the US as the only country that has not signed.
