What is COP28?
COP28 is the 28th annual Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention (UNFCC) on Climate Change. It marks the pivotal halfway point between when the Paris Agreement was established at COP21, and its 2030 targets.
This year’s conference will be hosted by the United Arab Emirates from 30 November to 12 December.
What is the global stocktake?
The first five-yearly global stocktake will conclude at COP28. This means the world has an opportunity to assess progress on Paris Agreement goals and align on efforts to bridge gaps. Simon Stiell, UN Climate Change Executive Secretary, has called this stocktake a “moment for course correction”.
How will COP28 affect decarbonisation efforts?
