Pedro Sánchez has offered to the president of Chile, Sebastián Piñera , to host in Spain the 25th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP25) on the dates scheduled to be held in the Latin American country, among the next December 6 and 13. This was announced by Piñera and confirmed by La Moncloa in a statement sent to the media.

After the announcement of the Chilean president to suspend the celebration of this summit in Santiago de Chile as a result of social protests in Chile, the president of the acting Government has transferred the willingness of Spain to collaborate "in all that is required, including, where appropriate, host the Climate Summit in Madrid, "as stated in the aforementioned statement.

"Spain considers that multilateral climate action is a priority on the agenda of the United Nations and the European Union, which demands the greatest commitment from all," says Moncloa. Chile assumed the presidency and organization of COP25 after the resignation of Brazil with the arrival of Jair Bolsonaro.

Sanchez has moved "his solidarity" with the Chilean people and "understands the priority given by his Executive to the national social agenda." That said, the Moncloa statement warns that "given the short time available" and "the importance of ensuring" that the summit is held normally and consistent with the priorities of Spain's foreign policy, the president The Government in functions has wanted to facilitate a space that allows Chile and the Ibero-American region to capitalize on its commitment to multilateralism and the immense effort it has been making since the beginning of the summit preparation, now 10 months ago.

The designated president of COP25, the Minister of Environment of Chile, Carolina Schmidt, has officially communicated to the United Nations this proposal, which should be analyzed by the Governing Board of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change next week in Bonn (Germany).
