Ethiopia is expected to be confirmed as host of the 2027 UN Climate Conference (COP32), with Addis Ababa backed by the African Group of Negotiators. The anticipated decision would return the summit to Africa for the first time since 2022. Observers said hosting COP32 gives Ethiopia a key diplomatic role in shaping regional priorities. The UNFCCC will conduct required assessments before final approval. Addis Ababa already hosts major international institutions, including the African Union.
