The 2023 United Nations Climate Change Conference and 28th meeting of the Conference of the Parties, also known as COP28, will take place in Dubai on 30 November-12 December 2023. It will also be the first Global Stocktake of the Paris Agreement – where countries will undertake a comprehensive assessment of the implementation of the Paris Agreement and the collective progress towards its goals.
On 12 October, we held a webinar in which Vanessa Havard-Williams, consultant at Linklaters and former co-head of the ESG team, spoke to members of the Linklaters International Advisory Group about the key issues to look out for during COP28, including:
- the impact of climate change on current geopolitics;
- the role of the financial sector in the transition to low-carbon, climate-resilient economies and societies;
- the policy response required to achieve net zero.
See above for a recording of the webinar.
