The UN Climate Change Conference 2023, or COP28 for short, is the 28th UN Climate Change Conference and will take place in Dubai from November 30th to December 12th, 2023. The starting point for the UN climate conference COP28 in Dubai can be described as at least difficult due to the global political situation. “I am realistic – ambitious agreements will not be easy this year,” said Environment Minister Leonore Gewessler (Greens), who is traveling to the United Arab Emirates on December 7th for the crucial week of negotiations, stated on Tuesday during a background discussion in Vienna.
