UAE aims for 'game-changing outcome' at COP28 summit
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is set to host the COP28 summit in Dubai in November and December, and has pledged to deliver a 'game-changing outcome' for international efforts to tackle climate change. The incoming president of the summit, Sultan al-Jaber, has promised to listen to young people demanding a place at the table, but has faced criticism over his links to fossil fuel interests. The summit will require the fossil fuel industry to be involved, but environmental campaigners have warned that their interests are opposed to the goal of cutting greenhouse gas emissions.
