Marking a historic milestone, COP28 concluded with an agreement to transition away from fossil fuels. This decision, however, comes with potential loopholes that might hinder the pace of the transition, even as the conference made notable strides in launching the Loss and Damage Fund and setting a global climate change adaptation goal.

As the 2023 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP28) ends, we look ahead to COP29. What unresolved questions remain, and what issues demand attention?
You are invited to join our online COP28 post-match analysis on 19 December. An esteemed panel will share insights into the COP28 negotiations, agreements and their implications for the global climate change challenge.
Maria Jernnäs, Post-doctoral Researcher at Linköping University and part of the Mistra Geopolitics research programme, shared her insights on Swedish television directly from Dubai based on the UNFCCCs NDC Synthesis report.
“The countries’ ambitions have increased since the Paris Agreement was adopted in 2015, but their current commitments only correspond to a 3% reduction in emissions by 2030 compared to 2019. The IPCC estimates that we need a 43% reduction to reach the Paris Agreement’s temperature target.”
The event will be chaired by Björn-Ola Linnér, Professor at Linköping University and Co-Director for Mistra Geopolitics.
