COP28 – UN Climate Change Conference 2023, Dubai
Taking place from 30 November until 12 December, this year's COP is to be hosted by one of the world's largest carbon emitters. There have already been accusations of greenwashing, and many activists and NGOs are unhappy with the appointment of oil tycoon Sultan al-Jaber as president of these urgently needed talks. The UAE has strict laws prohibiting unauthorised protests; however, activists have been reassured that their right to be heard will be honoured.
