The 2023 United Nations Climate Change Conference, commonly referred to as COP28, is set to take place from November 30 to December 12 in Dubai, UAE. The summit aims to bring together world leaders, negotiators, and climate activists to discuss strategies for tackling global warming. UN Secretary-General António Guterres emphasized the urgency of the climate crisis, stating, ‘We have a limited window to secure a livable future for all.’ As temperatures continue to rise, nations are pressured to meet their commitments under the Paris Agreement. Notably, the recent Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report highlights that global greenhouse gas emissions need to be halved by 2030 to limit warming to 1.5°C. Climate finance remains a critical topic, with developing countries seeking increased support to combat climate change effects. In a recent statement, French President Emmanuel Macron remarked, ‘Climate action must be at the heart of our international agenda.’ The summit also aims to focus on innovative solutions and the role of technology in reducing emissions and facilitating sustainable practices.
