At the 28th session of the Conference of the Parties, as COP28 is formally known, leaders will be urged to commit to tougher action on climate change, including cutting the use of coal-fired power stations, reducing reliability on fossil fuels, and boosting renewable energy sources.
Both EXPO 2020 and COP28 share similar objectives: achieving sustainability and promoting international action as essential steps towards facing global challenges. The selection of Dubai EXPO City as a venue for COP28 builds on the legacy and message of “Connecting Minds, Creating the Future”.
The conference is expected to attract more than 45,000 participants daily, including heads of state, government officials, international industry leaders, private sector representatives, academics, experts, and representatives of civil society organizations. It will run for 12 days from November 6-17, 2023.
