COP28 took place from 30 November to 12 December 2023 in Dubai (United Arab Emirates).  A Parliament delegation attended COP28 between 8 and 12 December. At the COP, MEPs met with ministers, parliamentarians, civil society representatives, leaders of international climate organisations and other delegates.

The Environment Committee adopted its demands for the UN Climate Change Conference COP28, which included a call on developed countries, including the EU and its member states, to ensure that the annual climate finance goal of 100 billion USD is met in 2023 and to work on a post-2025 goal that would go beyond this amount.

The Paris Agreement entered into force on 4 November 2016. The Global Stocktake takes place every five years, with the first-ever stocktake scheduled to conclude at COP28, aims to provide an overall picture of its implementation progress.
