Welcome to Our World Climate
Impact Hub at COP28 in Dubai

30 November – 12 December 2023, Blue Zone

*The programme is subject to update on this page. Stay tuned to be up to date. 

In the heart of the global climate negotiations at COP28’s Blue Zone, the World Climate Foundation’s Pavilion serves as an Impact Hub for creativity, cross-sector collaboration, partnerships and the launch of innovative initiatives in the global pursuit of a net-zero, nature-positive and healthy planet. 

 

As an accredited observer to the UNFCCC process and a member of the Marrakech Partnership for Global Climate Action, we leverage our 14-year experience to contribute to the COP28 priorities and the “COP of Action”.   

We invite you to our World Climate Impact Hub to help drive global transformations. By bringing the art elements and imagination, we inspire our community to bigger, bolder action to accelerate innovation, mobilise investment, and shape policies in the fields of climate, biodiversity and health. Working in close collaboration with influential stakeholders from various sectors and geographies, we are dedicated to delivering concrete outcomes that significantly advance sustainable development.
