The 28th annual Conference of the Parties (COP28) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change is taking place in Dubai. The Global Stocktake is at the center stage of the agenda this year.
The global stocktake is a periodic review by countries to control greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and transition their fossil-fuel-dependent energy systems to renewable sources. A synthesis report containing key recommendations was published in September of this year.
