The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade is inviting individuals and representatives of organisations with an interest in Aotearoa New Zealand’s international climate change response, to a stakeholder briefing session with our Climate Change Ambassador; Kay Harrison, and COP28 negotiating team.
The aim is to share views in the lead-up to the 28th Conference of Parties (COP28) to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). This year’s COP is confirmed to be held in Dubai, UAE (30 November – 12 December).
The briefing session will be on Monday 20th November from 5 – 6.30 pm, NZ time, in webinar format. There will be opportunity to ask questions as time permits.
This webinar will have two main purposes:
– Firstly, to hear from our Climate Change Ambassador Kay Harrison about the UAE as COP28 Presidency’s priorities and what key outcomes will be negotiated
– Secondly, to provide logistical information to New Zealanders travelling in person to COP28 on ‘Party overflow’ badges
You can register your interest in attending here to receive a link to join. They will send out a more detailed agenda and information on how to join to people who have registered closer to the date.
