Zasjedanje COP28 ključna je prilika za nacije da potvrde i ojačaju svoje obveze u borbi protiv klimatskih promjena. Pariški sporazum, dogovoren tijekom zasjedanja COP21, postavio je temelje za zajedničke napore usmjerene na ograničavanje globalnog porasta temperature. U okviru zasjedanja COP28 zemlje imaju priliku preispitati i ojačati svoje klimatske ciljeve, osiguravati njihovu usklađenost s najnovijim znanstvenim procjenama i sve većom hitnošću klimatske krize.
Zasjedanje COP28 održava se od 30. studenog do 12. prosinca 2023. u Dubaiju, Ujedinjeni Arapski Emirati. EGSO aktivno sudjeluje u tim godišnjim pregovorima koji se održavaju jednom godišnje.
Na zasjedanju COP28 dovršit će se prvi globalni pregled stanja provedbe Pariškog sporazuma. Pregled stanja dvogodišnji je proces koji se provodi svakih pet godina kako bi se procijenio zajednički globalni napredak u postizanju klimatskih ciljeva. Istovremeno s prvim globalnim pregledom stanja završava i prva polovina provedbe Programa održivog razvoja do 2030. i njegovih ciljeva održivog razvoja, uključujući cilj br. 13 (djelovanje u području klime).
U dopisu poslanom strankama u srpnju 2023. predsjedništvo je najavilo da će se zasjedanje COP28 usredotočiti na četiri paradigmatske promjenei:
EGSO će biti dio EU-ovog izaslanstva, a zastupat će ga predsjednik EGSO-a Oliver Röpke, šest članova i članica Ad hoc skupine za COP, Peter Schmidt, Isabel Caño Aguilar, Josep Puxeu Rocamora, Antje Sabine Gerstein, Neža Repanšek i Arnaud Schwartzkao i izaslanica mladih EGSO-a za UNFCCC Diandra NÍ Bhuachalla.
