​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​The 28th session of the Conference of the Parties (COP 28) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) will take place from 30 November to 12 December 2023 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. As part of the delegation of the European Union and member of the LGMA (Local Governments and Municipal Authorities) constituency, the European Committee of the Regions will be present at COP28 to continue advocating for the recognition of the crucial role of subnational governments in international climate negotiations and the implementation of the Paris Agreement.​​

Climate acti​​​on

COP27 did not deliver commitments on mitigation that would keep the goal of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees within reach. Achieving the Paris Agreement goals will therefore require the active engagement of all governance levels, with subnational climate diplomacy playing a pivotal role.

In this context, COP28 and the first Global Stocktake provide an unparalleled opportunity to drive forward global climate action through the meaningful engagement of cities and regions worldwide, as subnational governments are those in charge of translating global climate goals into practical, localised actions.

Building on the Glasgow Climate Pact and call under the Sharm el-Sheikh Implementation Plan for urgent multilevel and cooperative action, the European Committee of the Regions will continue advocating for a formal role for subnational governments in global climate negotiations, more ambitious nationally determined contributions and a Global Goal on Adaptation based on resilience needs and solutions of specific localities. COP28 is an opportunity to give cities and regions the recognition they deserve as crucial actors in the fight against global warming.
