German Roadmap to COP 28 - A Table.Media Event

This year the COP 28 will take place from November 30 to December 12 in Dubai. After the last world climate conference fell short of some expectations, the decision to hold it in the United Arab Emirates in 2023 is not without controversy: After all, the Gulf states already have advocated for a renaissance of fossil fuels in Sharm el-Sheikh.

The path to COP 28 and the German and European role in it will be interesting: What progress is emerging in the reform of the World Bank and other financial institutions? What shape will the new Loss & Damages Fund take? Will the U.S. and China once again become the engines of negotiation? How will geopolitics play into the game? How does the race for green subsidies between the U.S., China and the EU affect politics?

Climate.Table Editor in Chief Bernhard Pötter talks about these questions with Jennifer Morgan, the State Secretary and Special Representative for International Climate Policy at the German Foreign Office.
