Unite. Act. Deliver.
We are at a halfway point. It has been 7 years since Paris, with 7 years to go to 2030.
We must respond to the facts. We need to reduce emissions by 43% by 2030 and course correct on adaptation, finance and loss and damage.
We will deliver a transformational COP of action. A COP for all.

DIALOGUE 2023
COP28 President-Designate calls for climate action plan that puts the world on the right track to achieve the Paris Agreement’s goals.
COP28 UAE will be a milestone moment when the world will take stock of its progress on the Paris Agreement.
The first Global Stocktake (GST), will provide a comprehensive assessment of progress since adopting the Paris Agreement. This will help align efforts on climate action, including measures that need to be put in place to bridge the gaps in progress.
The COP28 UAE Presidency will work to ensure that the world responds to the GST with a clear plan of action.
Welcome Message
At COP21 in 2015, the world agreed to limit global warming to 1.5°C compared to pre-industrial levels by 2050. To remain on target, science tells us that emissions must be halved by 2030. We only have another seven years to meet that goal. COP28 UAE is a prime opportunity to rethink, reboot, and refocus the climate agenda.
Working with the UNFCCC Executive Secretary alongside the UN Climate Change High-Level Champion and the UAE Youth Climate Champion, I will strive to build consensus amongst parties to drive climate action. Together, we will prioritize efforts to accelerate emissions reductions through a pragmatic energy transition, reform land use, and transform food systems. We will work to mobilize solutions for vulnerable countries, operationalize loss and damage, and deliver the most inclusive Conference possible.
H.E. Dr. Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, President-Designate for COP28 UAE
