Legislative Council Fifty-Fifth Parliament, First Session (55-1) 55 1 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Answers to Questions Adelaide COP31 Adelaide COP31 The Hon. T.A. FRANKS Legislative Council Adelaide COP31 In reply to the Hon. T.A. FRANKS ().19 August 2025). I have been advised: The annual Conference of the Parties (COP) of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) is held in November annually and Australia is bidding to host COP31 (2026) in Adelaide. The United Nations has not settled its decision as to where COP31 will be held, however due to the scale and complexity of the event South Australia Police (SAPOL) has commenced planning in anticipation. The last COP held in a similar setting to Australia was Glasgow, Scotland in 2021 (COP26). SAPOL is reviewing the Police Scotland COP26 experience. The Commissioner of Police has secured the support of all Australian police jurisdictions and New Zealand Police to provide additional police resources.
