The event will be held in Expo City Dubai from 30 November 30 to 12 December.
The COP28 will welcome high-level participation, including over 140 heads of state, senior government leaders, over 70,000 participants and more than 5,000 media professionals.
"I call on all Indonesian stakeholders to utilize the COP28 to come up with initiatives and projects that support Indonesia`s commitments to reduce emissions, to include food systems into Indonesia`s climate plans, restoring ecosystems, and transition to clean energy," said UAE Ambassador to Indonesia Abdulla Salem AlDhehari during a media briefing in Jakarta on Thursday (2/11/2023).
The UAE was the first country in the region to sign and ratify the Paris Agreement in 2016, the first to commit to an economy-wide reduction in emissions, and the first in the region to announce a Net Zero by 2050 Strategic Initiative.
The UAE is home to three of the largest and lowest cost solar plants in the world and was the first country in the region to deploy industrial-scale carbon capture technology, the first to deploy zero-emission civil nuclear energy in the Arab world - with the Barakah plant now the single-largest source of clean electricity in the region - and a pioneer in new zero-carbon energies such as hydrogen.
The COP28 presidency has developed comprehensive plans to enhance global climate action. This action plan is based on five pillars.
