The Scottish First Minister said his attendance will show Scotland’s ‘commitment to being a good global citizen’.
Scottish First Minister Humza Yousaf is to head to Dubai for the Cop28 summit, saying doing so shows the country is making a “constructive contribution” to tackling problems such as climate change.
He said he will use his visit to call on other nations to “urgently step up to address the injustice at the heart of climate change” by providing more support to poorer nations who are suffering the most from rising global temperatures.'s commitment to tackling the climate and nature crises, ensuring we deliver a Just Transition for workers. The Council provides expert advice on international best practice.
From global leaders to grassroots communities, Actionists are people – just like you – whose commitment and contributions are providing the hope, optimism, and ingenuity needed to keep 1.5ºC within reach.“That is why the gathering of the global community at Cop28 is so important. Only by working together can we meet the need and urgency of the task that lies ahead.“Cop28 also allows the Scottish Government to advance international relations and build partnerships.
But Mr Livingstone, who met the First Minister on Wednesday to discuss Scotland’s climate progress and the priorities for Cop28, added that this would not “define his climate legacy”, saying instead that “history will instead judge the First Minister on whether or not his Scottish Government swiftly and seriously invests in the decarbonisation and just transition required in order for Scotland to – at a minimum – consistently meet its legal climate targets”.
