The United Arab Emirates is about to play host to the world’s leaders as they try to solve the most pressing issues in climate.
On 30 November, the world’s leaders will gather in Expo City, Dubai for the year’s most important climate talks. The 28th United Nations Climate Change Conference — COP28 — will be the key opportunity to strike important deals and set the global agenda for the environment moving forward.
The urgency to act has never been higher: 2023 has seen the hottest month ever measured, Antarctic sea ice tracks reach new lows and sea surface temperatures records continuing to be broken.
