The 8th Conference of the Parties (COP28) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) is set to make history as it takes center stage in the vibrant city of Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE). Against the backdrop of the iconic Burj Khalifa and the desert skyline, COP28 promises to be a pivotal moment in global climate diplomacy, offering a unique blend of tradition and innovation.
The Conference of the Parties (COP) is the principal decision-making authority within the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). In the ongoing COP28, from 30th November to 12th December 2023 hosted by the United Arab Emirates (UAE), expectations run high as representatives from 198 countries that have signed the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change will convene to deliberate on critical global issues. The significance of this conference is heightened by its location in Dubai, UAE, a region with historical involvement in hosting COP events, including COP27 in Egypt (2022) and COP in Qatar (2012).
