SCOTLAND will be represented at COP28 in the United Arab Emirates at the end of the month.
Humza Yousaf has confirmed he will be attending the international climate conference in Dubai alongside Transport, Net Zero and Just Transition Secretary Mairi McAllan.
“The Scottish Government will use COP28 to call on all to urgently step up to address the injustice at the heart of climate change by supporting those communities who are suffering the most but have done the least to cause climate impacts, including through our leadership on loss and damage. The EU’s climate chief Wopke Hoekstra said this week a UN-level agreement on a Loss and Damage Fund to compensate vulnerable countries for natural disasters caused by climate change opens the way for higher climate mitigation goals at the COP28 summit.
