COP28 UAE
ADVISORY COMMITTEE

The COP28 UAE Advisory Committee brings together the climate expertise of thought leaders from countries across 6 continents. Representing policy, industry, energy, finance, civil society, and youth, the 33 members of the Committee, of which 64% are from the Global South, will provide guidance and counsel to the COP Presidency in the run up to COP28 and beyond.

Reflecting the principles of diversity and inclusion that underpin COP28 UAE, the Advisory Committee will inspire collaborative and transformative action across adaptation, mitigation, finance, loss and damage, food and agriculture, and nature-based solutions.
