The 28th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP28) will take place in the capital before the end of the year, and His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed this week re-affirmed that sustainability remains at the heart of the UAE’s support for global climate action.

The hosting of COP28 is a major coup for Abu Dhabi and shows the capital’s growing commitment to build upon its legacy as a global environmental powerhouse.
