COP, or the Conference of Parties, is an annual United Nations summit about the climate crisis. The conference is where the world comes together to discuss, negotiate and chart a course towards a more sustainable, climate-resilient future.
The aim? To make sure all Parties are on track to address climate change, so we can limit greenhouse gas emissions to a level that keeps dangerous human-induced climate change in check.
This year, COP28 takes place in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, from 30 November until 12 December 2023.
As a global leader in climate action, the EU is going to COP28 eager to raise ambition among our international partners. This year, the focus will be on global energy targets.
