I was at an academic conference recently and one of the presenters mentioned examining certain variables before and after the top 21 climate change meetings.

Unfortunately I was not able to get a hold of her after the conference and I have no background in earth science/climate change. Does anyone know what she could have been referring to?

I am aware of the COP and CMP only held by the UN.
