“Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be travelling to Dubai, the UAE from November 30 to December 1 at the invitation of Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE and the ruler of Abu Dhabi, to attend the World Climate Action Summit,” according to the MEA. The high-level portion of COP28 is called the World Climate Action Summit. Under the UAE’s presidency, the COP28 is taking place from November 28 to December 12.
According to the MEA, the COP28 offers a singular chance to galvanize cooperation in the fight against the common threat posed by climate change. “During COP-26 in Glasgow, the prime minister had announced five specific targets, titled ‘Panchamrit’, as India’s unprecedented contribution to climate action,” added the statement.

According to the MEA, the COP28 will offer a chance to build on “these successes”. India made a significant push to provide developing nations with climate funding so they could address the issue of climate change while it was the G20 presidency.
