Konferenca COP28 je odločilna priložnost za države, da ponovno potrdijo in okrepijo svoje zaveze v boju proti podnebnim spremembam. Pariški sporazum, sprejet na konferenci COP21, je postavil temelje za skupna prizadevanja, da bi omejili dvigovanje globalne temperature. Na konferenci COP28 imajo države možnost, da ponovno preučijo in okrepijo svoje podnebne cilje ter jih prilagodijo glede na najnovejše znanstvene ocene in vse hujšo podnebno krizo, ki zahteva nujno ukrepanje.
Konferenca COP28 poteka od 30. novembra do 12. decembra 2023 v Dubaju v Združenih arabskih emiratih. EESO dejavno sodeluje na letnih pogajanjih.
Na konferenci COP28 se bo zaključil prvi pregled globalnega stanja izvajanja Pariškega sporazuma. Vsak pregled stanja je dvoletni proces, ki se izvede vsakih pet let, da se oceni skupni napredek na svetovni ravni pri doseganju podnebnih ciljev. Hkrati s prvim pregledom se zaključuje tudi prva polovica izvajanja agende za trajnostni razvoj do leta 2030 in njenih ciljev trajnostnega razvoja, vključno s ciljem 13 (podnebni ukrepi).
Predsedstvo je v dopisu pogodbenicam, poslanem julija 2023, napovedalo, da se bo konferenca COP28 osredotočala na štiri spremembe paradigme:
EESO bo vključen v delegacijo EU, zastopali pa ga bodo predsednik EESO Oliver Röpke, šest članov ad hoc skupine za Konferenco pogodbenic – Peter Schmidt, Isabel Caño Aguilar, Josep Puxeu Rocamora, Antje Sabine Gerstein, Neža Repanšek in Arnaud Schwartz – ter mladinska delegatka EESO pri Konferenci pogodbenic Okvirne konvencije Združenih narodov o spremembi podnebja Diandra NÍ Bhuachalla.
