  This year's global climate summit begins in Dubai. Did you know that Dr. Sultan bin Ahmed Al Jaber, Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology and President of COP28 , stressed the essential need for immediate climate action before to the summit? The shrinking time period and the global community's progress since the Paris Agreement's adoption in 2015 emphasize the urgency.  Let us first discuss the cop conference  and what I believe Cop28 will do.  First Cop summit  emphasizes that major strides have been made since COP21, guiding the earth away from the initially forecast 3°C global warming and toward around 2.5°C.  Second, according to the International Energy Agency's most recent projections, global carbon emissions will peak in this decade, intensifying the need for comprehensive climate policies.
