Description

In this first out of three webinar sessions, we invite you to join us – the YSI Members attending COP28 – for a conversation with our guests on the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change Conference of the Parties session number 28 (UNFCCC COP28) convening from 30 November to 12 December 2023 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE).

In our engaging and exciting session with your active participation, we plan to cover:

  1. What is the UNFCCC COP28 and its history?
  2. What is the role of the economy and Non State Actors (NSAs) in the process?
  3. How to get involved in the process no matter whether you are physically in Dubai, or able to join online only?
  4. What to expect from COP28?
  5. What are the challenges and what gives us hope?

Our session will be special as we are joined by two amazing speakers:

Maria Azul Schvartzman is a climate change specialist with over seven years of experience supporting governments and organizations. She is currently working with the COP28 Presidency Team on their Youth Engagement Portfolio having served as the Youth Fellow on the High Level Champions for Climate Action Team at COP26.
