Since the first COP or the Conference of the Parties was held in Berlin in 1995, the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) has gathered the international community together to assess and advance progress on tackling climate change.

Each country brings its own delegation of politicians, negotiators and experts to discuss and agree – or not – a way forward with other countries. The two-week talks are also attended by thousands of observers and members of the press.

COP28 saw around 65,000 core attendees in UAE, the biggest show of support amongst past events.

Hear from delegates what take they have from the negotiation outcomes and activities on the ground. Can we find meaning and actionable outcomes for our businesses and organisations? Are the deals from COP28 a real significant milestone and what will it take to fruition?
