EXTREME HANGOUT COP28 DUBAI 2023
UAE will host the 28th UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP28) in Dubai in 30 Nov to 12 Dec 2023.
The COP28 summit will bring global leaders and organisations together to accelerate action towards the goal of the Paris Agreement and the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change.
Young changemakers want their voices heard and have little participation in the formal proceedings.
EXTREME has made it its mission to give them a seat at the table and a platform for their voice to be heard.
The EXTREME Hangout was launched at COP26 in Glasgow and became a leading fringe event at COP26 and COP27, we are now making plans for COP28!
