UniCarbo participated in COP 28 in Dubai in 2023

UniCarbo was present at the 28th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP 28), held at Expo City, in Dubai.

In 2022, UniCarbo also participated in COP 27, which took place in Egypt from November 6th to 18th.

This year, among the various topics to be negotiated in attempts to combat climate change and limit global warming, the expectation is that new advances will be made in relation to article A6.4 of the Paris Agreement, which deals with the new regulated carbon market.

COP28 , held in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, in 2023, was a significant milestone in global climate negotiations. The Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change brought together world leaders, negotiators, scientists and activists to discuss the actions needed to address the climate crisis.
