The world’s eyes will be on Dubai in November 2023 as countries come together to fight climate change. COP28, the 28th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, will be held in the United Arab Emirates from November 30 to December 12.
COP28 is expected to be a critical juncture in the global fight against climate change. The world is currently on track to warm by 2.7 degrees Celsius by the end of the century, which would have devastating consequences for people and the planet. COP28 will be an opportunity for countries to come together and commit to ambitious action to reduce emissions and build a more sustainable future.
The UAE has a strong track record on climate action. The country has already pledged to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, and it is investing heavily in renewable energy and other clean technologies. COP28 will be a chance for the UAE to showcase its leadership on climate change and to inspire other countries to take action.
The world is watching COP28. The decisions made at this summit will have a profound impact on the future of our planet. We must all work together to ensure that COP28 is a success and that we take the necessary steps to address the climate crisis.
Here are some of the key issues that are expected to be discussed at COP28:
How to reduce greenhouse gas emissions: Countries will need to come up with ambitious plans to reduce their emissions in line with the Paris Agreement.
How to help developing countries adapt to climate change: Developing countries are disproportionately affected by climate change, and they need financial and technical assistance to adapt to its impacts.
How to mobilize finance for climate action: The world needs to mobilize trillions of dollars to finance climate action. This will require governments, businesses, and individuals to work together.
