The annual UN climate summit, COP 28, will be hosted by the UAE in Dubai from November 30 to December 12. Over 70,000 delegates are expected to attend to accelerate energy transition and emissions cuts. COP28 is significant amid geopolitical risks from the Israel-Hamas war and Russia's Ukraine invasion. As a major emitter with a huge population, India's role is crucial - it must balance ambition on climate action with equitable development. With almost all countries participating, COP28 will see negotiations and give-and-takes on key climate goals.
