The 2023 UN Climate Change Conference will convene from 30 November to 12 December 2023 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE). It will comprise:

• the 28th meeting of the Conference of the Parties (COP 28);
• the fifth meeting of the COP serving as the Meeting of the Parties to the Paris Agreement (CMA 5);
• the 18th meeting of the COP serving as the Meeting of the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol (CMP 18);
• the 59th meeting of the Subsidiary Body for Implementation (SBI 59); and
• the 59th meeting of the Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice (SBSTA 59).

The first Global Stocktake of the implementation of the Paris Agreement will conclude at COP 28.

The first Global Stocktake takes place at the mid-point in the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its SDGs, including Goal 13 (climate action). To pave the way, in September 2023, the UN Secretary-General will convene a Climate Ambition Summit to “accelerate action at the mid-way point” of the SDGs.
