Interpreters for COP32 in Addis Ababa.
The 2027 UN climate conference goes to Africa. The best conference interpreters are booked months ahead — plan your delegation's language support now.
Straight answer
STIB provides interpreters for delegations, companies and organisations at COP32, the 2027 UN Climate Change Conference set for Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. As at every COP, the UNFCCC interprets the official sessions; bilateral meetings, pavilion panels, side events, press and site visits need the organiser's own interpreters. STIB staffs those settings on-site on request, subject to availability, or remotely — with Portuguese, English and Spanish as core pairs and French and Arabic through its network.
Why it matters
A COP where Portuguese, French and Arabic share the room
Francophone and Arabic-speaking delegations
French and Arabic sit alongside English in many African and Middle Eastern delegations; STIB matches interpreters to the pair and to the subject.
Climate finance and trade
Carbon markets, adaptation finance, agribusiness, mining and energy terminology agreed with you before the first meeting.

COP32 interpreting: questions we are asked
Where is COP32?
COP32, the 2027 UN Climate Change Conference, is set to be held in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Exact dates are published by the UNFCCC; check the official calendar before booking travel.
Why book COP32 interpreters early?
Every delegation, pavilion and company competes for the same experienced conference interpreters during the same two weeks. Booking early secures the language pairs and subject knowledge you need, and leaves time to prepare glossaries and briefing material.
Can STIB cover Portuguese for African delegations?
Yes. Portuguese is one of STIB's core languages, alongside English and Spanish, which makes it a fit for meetings involving Portuguese-speaking delegations and companies from Africa and Brazil. French and Arabic are covered through STIB's network of more than 40 languages.
