Day 5 :What's Happened So Far At COP28 UAE?

Introduction

We are halfway through the UNFCCC COP28 in Dubai with 50,000 delegates present, including 15,000 NGOs and almost 1,300 media organizations.

On Day 5, two new gap reports were released. The Adaptation Gap Report finds that progress on climate adaptation is slowing when it should be accelerating to catch up with rising climate change impacts.

The Emissions Gap Report finds that the world is heading for a temperature rise far above the Paris Agreement goals unless countries deliver more than they have promised.

South Africa's Just Transition financing mechanism

Members of the Presidential Climate Commission (PCC) have also been present at COP28 UAE. The objective of the Commission is to advise on South Africa's climate change response to ensure realization of the vision for effective climate change response and the long-term just transition to a climate resilient and low carbon economy and society.
