The Conference of the Parties (COP) 28 in Dubai has begun!

The reports published this year, shortly before the COP, also show that the efforts of the global community to date are not sufficient to meet the Paris climate targets and at the same time implement efficient measures to mitigate the effects of the climate crisis to date. Against the backdrop of insufficient global efforts, the completion of the first global stocktake of the implementation of the Paris Climate Agreement is on the agenda this year. Climate financing, through financial support for the transformation to “net zero”, will also play a major role in the upcoming negotiations. Equally important is the issue of loss and damage funding, especially for the countries most affected by the climate crisis. In addition, a work program is to be defined to facilitate the implementation of global adaptation goals.

We will keep you up to date on developments in the negotiations on these topics and other important issues.

Members of the DKKV are on site as part of the German delegation to support the negotiations and communicate results. Four delegates from the DKKV, Reimund Schwarze, Friedrich Bohn, Dennis Wengenroth and Stefan Mönnich are following the negotiations in Dubai and will publish regular updates on their social media accounts.
