Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed, Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Co-operation and Chairman of the Cop 28 Higher Committee responsible for preparations for November's summit, convened members to discuss priorities, preparations and milestones.

In the meeting, Sheikh Abdullah spoke of the responsibility of the UAE as the host country and the inclusive approach the nation has taken towards the planning and organisation of the conference, reported news agency Wam.

“Cop28 will be a significant meeting point for heads of state, business leaders, civil society, the scientific community, youth and all segments of society, as we deliberate where the world stands today on climate action, and what must be done to shift from promises to progress by 2030 in line with the Paris Agreement,” he said.
