The Foreign Minister Sheikh Abdullah Bin Zayed Al Nahyan said on Sunday that the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has asked to host the Conference of Parties (COP28) international conference on climate change in 2023.

 The annual Conference of Parties COP is the decision-making body responsible for monitoring and reviewing the implementation of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.  The UAE exports oil and hosts the International Renewable Energy Agency's (IRENA) headquarters.
The UAE has established itself as a natural host for high-level large format international events focused on climate action and sustainable development. "The UAE has demonstrated a proven track record in progressive climate action and multilateral cooperation that makes it an ideal convener for COP 28," Sheikh Abdullah adding that  "The UAE has invested around USD17 billion in commercial renewable energy projects on six continents and provided over USD1 billion of grants and soft loans for renewable energy power plants." The British government will host the next summit, COP 26, in Glasgow in November.
