COP28: can Dubai do climate protection?

The 28th UN Climate Change Conference begins today in Dubai, with more than 190 countries attending. The adoption of a package of measures for tripling renewable energy capacities is planned, and 20 countries are calling for the phasing out of all fossil fuels. Many commentators argue that Dubai is not a credible host for the climate summit, but others see an opportunity here.
