Connecting to COP28
An online portal for citizen observers of the 28th Conference of the Parties
2023 United Nations Climate Change Conference
30 November - 12 December 2023 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE)
Welcome to this COP28 Portal
The following portal has been designed for anyone interested in engaging COP28, also known as the 28th Conference of the Parties.
Participation as an observer in the COP conference has been described as "drinking water from a firehose". This massive event involves over 70,000 people from all over the world and can be quite overwhelming.
Held in a different country each year, these climate conferences are often inaccessible to the majority of interested parties due to conference location, potential political instability and/or cost.
With abundant opportunities for learning, networking, and influencing, this site serves as a bridge to streamline available information and connect virtual learners with up-to-date remote content.
This site is updated throughout the conference so check back frequently!
