The European Landowners’ point of view on COP28
2023
The Conference of Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP28) meets in December against the least promising backdrop for many years, both politically (Ukraine, tensions between US and China, and a widespread feeling
that the host country is conflicted) and climatically, since the carbon budget for stabilisation at plus 1.5 degrees as agreed at Paris in 2015 is now less than 250 Gigatonnes (emissions for 2022 were 40 Gt) and almost exhausted.
