On the Ground at COP28: Whats at Stake with the Global Stocktake?
The 28th annual Conference of the Parties, COP28, opens this week in Dubai. For the 28th time, the nations of the world have gathered to see what progress they can make on addressing the increasingly global climate crisis. It\u2019s fair to wonder why, after three decades, we still haven\u2019t taken the collective action necessary. And it\u2019s equally fair to wonder why diplomats continue to bother with what Greta Thunberg famously called \u201cblah, blah, blah.\u201d \nThis year\u2019s COP marks the first \u201cGlobal Stocktake,\u201d an assessment of how the nations of the world are doing compared to the emissions-cutting commitments they made in Paris.
