COP 28, the 28th Conference of the Parties, will take place from November 30 to December 12 in Dubai, United Arab Emirate. The conference will begin by delivering the first-ever Global Stocktake, a comprehensive evaluation or report card of how the global community has done with regard to the climate goals articulated at the 2015 Paris Agreement.
In a letter to the parties in July 2023, the incoming president of COP28, Sultan Al Jaber, announced that the conference would focus on four key areas:
- Fast-tracking the energy transition and slashing emissions before 2030
- Transforming climate finance by delivering on old promises and setting the framework for a new deal on finance
- Putting nature, people, lives and livelihoods at the heart of climate action
- Mobilizing for the most inclusive COP ever
