UAE will co-operate closely with Cop27 host Egypt to support momentum for greater climate progress

 

UAE will lead “an ambitious, inclusive and solutions-oriented approach” to its hosting of the Cop28 climate conference next year.

In November 2023, Expo City Dubai will host the gathering, known in full as the Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change.

The Higher Committee on Cop28 UAE, which is overseeing the hosting of the event, convened for its fourth meeting on Tuesday, to discuss all strategic, technical and administrative elements related to the summit.

Cop28 will be especially significant as the first global stocktake of national commitments since the 2016 Paris Agreement pledge to limit global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.

“The UAE will apply its experience as a trusted global convener to ensure Cop28 UAE reflects the voices of all relevant stakeholders to achieve global consensus for practical climate progress,” Sheikh Abdullah said.
