COP27, the 2022 United Nations Climate Change Conference, recently concluded in Egypt. Perhaps nowhere is this multilateralism more desperately needed than in our planetary fight against climate change, a sentiment echoed by the President of the UAE, His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan during his address at COP27: "The dangers of climate change affect everyone without exception, and the future of our children and grandchildren depends on the measures we take today." Our joint efforts are bearing fruits and will go on to benefit some of those societies across the globe that are most vulnerable to climate change. Both the UAE and China understand our immense duties in nurturing and conserving our natural landscapes so that future generations can continue to enjoy their wonders. Alongside this "global stock-take", COP28 will also set the "Global Goal on Adaptation" to assess the efficacy of ongoing global efforts to adapt to climate change.
