COP28
COP28 will take place in Dubai from November 30 to December 12, 2023. A delegation from the EU Parliament will also be on site from December 8 to 12.

On Tuesday, the EU Parliament’s Environment Committee adopted a resolution by a large majority setting out MEPs’ demands for the UN Climate Change Conference in Dubai at the end of the month (COP28). In it, they call for an end to direct and indirect subsidies for fossil fuels at both EU and national levels „as soon as possible, but no later than 2025.“ The member states also want to work towards an end to fossil fuel subsidies in Dubai but did not set a date in their negotiating mandate.
