The 28th United Nations Climate Change Conference will take place in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, from Nov.
30 to Dec.
12, and the Gulf nation is making good on its promise to host one of the biggest events in the conference's history, the New York Times reports.
The UAE, which is home to more than 10 million people and is the fourth-largest economy in the world, has announced that it will try to keep the global temperature from rising 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit) over pre-industrial levels, a goal set in the 2015 Paris Agreement.
The UAE has already announced that it will strive to keep the temperature from rising 3 degrees Celsius (4.8 degrees Fahrenheit) over pre-industrial levels by 2030, Phys.org reports.
"The UAE is fully prepared to host COP28, providing an opportunity to re-evaluate, reinvigorate, and steer the world towards achieving the goals of the Paris Agreement and the 2030 sustainable development targets," Phys.org quotes the country's presidency as saying in a statement.
The Times notes that the conference will focus on "critical issues that were not fully addressed at COP27, such as finalising institutions for the loss and damage fund and intensifying efforts to double adaptation finance."
