#WhatTheCOPThe unofficial guide to COP31

What changed

Pavilion information moves quietly. A call opens with two weeks notice, a zone gets confirmed, a pavilion is cancelled after months of being listed. Every change we record lands here with its date, so you can see what is new since the last time you looked instead of rereading the whole list.
