Guyana wants restructured approach to COP

President Irfaan Ali seeks changes at COP 28 in Dubai, proposing structural adjustments to address unresolved climate issues like commitments, loss and damage, mitigation, adaptation, food systems, and finance.

Ahead of the next largest climate conference, COP 28, slated for November to December in Dubai, President Irfaan Ali says his country wants to see some changes to how things are done at this conference.

He told a small audience at the Atlantic Council, an American think tank in the field of international affairs, that changes to the structure of the meetings could bring about some positive changes.

Dr. Ali says there are so many unresolved issues facing the world, especially as it relates to commitments to climate change: loss and damage, mitigation, adaptation, food systems, and climate finance, which necessitate this change.
