Reflections from the COP28 Summit:
The Year of Many Firsts

Reflections from the COP28 Gum The Yer of Many
Foreword
The COP28 summit, hosted in Dubai, UAE, concluded with optimism and apprehension
as world leaders grappled with the intricate challenges around climate negotiations.
HE. Dr. Sultan al-Jaber, serving as the COP28 President, opened the conference with a
resounding call for collaboration, stating, ‘The urgency of the climate crisis demands
unprecedented collaboration. Our success lies in bridging gaps and finding common
‘ground’ Echoing this sentiment, UNFCCC (UN Framework Convention on Climate
Change) leadership including Executive Secretary, Simon Stiell, emphasized the need
for concrete outcomes and global cooperation to address the pressing challenges we
‘are currently facing effectively.
1. Foreword
[After much deliberation, Parties successfully reached an agreement guiding the
world to transition away from fossil fuels for the first time in almost three decades at
the UN climate talks. Although the final text, reffered to os the “UAE Consensus” stayed
clear of explicitly calling fora “fossil fuel phase-out’ itis the first time that the term
“fossil fuel” finds its way into the outcomes of a UN Climate Change Conference.
CoP28 boasted many other firsts - (0) the first Global Stocktake that underlined the
critical role of multilateralism, recognized the fundamental priority of safeguarding
food security, and the critical role protecting, preserving, and restoring water systems,
noted the importance of ensuring the integrity of all ecosystems, and stressed on the
urgency to address the interlinked global crises of climate change and biodiversity
Joss: (b) a first-of-its-kind ‘COPZ8 UAE Climate and Health Declaration’ backed by over
Wo countries, which aims to make health central to climate action and push the
development of climate resilient, sustainable, and equitable health systems; and (c)
talks including the first Food, Agriculture, and Water Day, primarily dedicated to food
systems
This document reflects on the insights and discussions from the COP28, we aim to
convey the valuable takeaways to you, with the hope that they prove useful and
Informative. We look forward to continuing to engage with you.
Thank you.

The COP28
Report Card
(COP?28, the 28th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework
Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), concluded on December 12, 2023, leaving
a mixed legacy. Below are some of the key highlights from the 13-day long COP28.
The loss and damage fund, announced last year at COP27 in Sharm El-Sheikh,
to support climate-vulnerable developing countries was operationalized on
the first day of COP28. Countries have pledged hundreds of millions of dollars
0 far for the fund.
2.The COP28
Report Card
‘At COP28, the overall funding reached USD 8s billion, including innovative,
private finance.
‘Commitments totaling USD 35 billion to replenish the resources of the Green
Climate Fund;
New announcements worth over USD 160 million for the Least Developed
Countries Fund (LDCF) and Special Climate Change Fund (SCF;
Additional USD 9 billion annually for the next two years by the World Bank to
finance climate-related projects;
At least 143 countries signed the ‘COP28 UAE Climate and Health Declaration’
to promote actions for protecting people's health from growing climate
impacts;
At least 159 countries backed the ‘COP28 UAE Declaration on Agriculture,
Food, and Climate’ to support food security while combatting climate
change; and
Global Cooling Pledge has been endorsed by &6 countries to reduce cooling
related emissions by 68 percent starting now.
COP28 represented a crucial step forward in the global fight against climate change.
However, the conference also highlighted the complexity of the issue and the
remaining challenges left to tackle. To truly succeed, future COPs must build on the
progress made at COP28 and address the shortcomings effectively. This requires more
decisive leadership, increased financial commitments, and a more resolute stance on
phasing out fossil fuels. However, it was a victory, nonetheless, raising awareness on
the slight progress that has been made and the opportunity for much more to be
‘accomplished.

Reducing emissions from the concrete and cement sectors - which
currently account for 7 percent of total GHG emissions. 88 percent
of lifecycle emissions coming from one ingredient: clinker.
Alternatives to clinker are already being developed by businesses
but these are not yet at cost parity. As procurers of ~1/3rd of the
world's cement, governments have a role to play in supporting and
mainstreaming low-carbon alternatives. Further, in a country like
India, where 70 percent of the infrastructure is yet to be built,
government policies must create a market for green cement.
Construction decisions made today will have an impact, years into
the future. Now is the time to replace polluting blast furnaces with
low emissions technology. To produce near zero-emission steel at
scale, the inputs needed (ie., green hydrogen, recycled scrap steel
and renewable energy) must also be ready to scale. System-wide
action to hit national targets on renewable energy, clean hydrogen
and recycling are critical to steel system decarbonization. Green
Steel Certification has become a reality today but lacks uniformity.
There is a growing need for steel with less carbon footprint and
with carbon taxes added, it becomes a competitive advantage for
steel manufacturers to reduce emissions in the value chain.
Hydrogen plays a crucial role in the decarbonization of key
industries such as steel, shipping, and freight. Commercial viability
of green hydrogen and supporting infrastructure are major hurdies.
Sustained government intervention is going to be essential for
‘overcoming these barriers, Policies across shipping, aviation, and
‘other industries are catalyzing global demand for green hydrogen,
even as the more polluting alternatives remain cheaper to
produce. Without these policies, companies may not be willing to
invest in low-carbon hydrogen.
Food system makes up a striking 25-35 percent of global emissions,
‘and this percentage is rising. The food system produces 50 percent
of all methane emissions, primarily from livestock. While land use
change like deforestation is driving most of the sector's CO.
emissions. Regulations such as the Global Methane Pledge and the
Declaration on Forest and Land Use are helping, but farmers need
financial support to transition to lower-carbon practices such as
regenerative farming. Today, regenerative agriculture practices are
‘making it possible to bring food security, while reducing emissions
from the valve chain. Technologies in precision agriculture also are
making a major difference to the sector.Reflections from the COP28 Gum The Yer of Many

The Way Forward
COP28 bore witness to both significant strides and lingering challenges in the global
battle against climate change. The establishment of the loss and damage fund and the
substantial financial commitments signaled tangible progress,
The diverse array of announcements and commitments from nations worldwide
underscores the shared responsibilty in addressing climate change, As the world looks
towards the future, the focus must shift from mere rhetoric to concrete actions. The
global community, governments, businesses, and individuals alike must
collaborate to implement and uphold the commitments made at COP28, ensuring a
sustainable and resilient future for generations to come.
The road ahead is challenging, but with concerted effort, itis a road that leads towards
a greener, more sustainable planet. The lessons learned and the achievements of,
(COP28 must serve as a launching pad for even more robust global collaboration in the
critical years ahead. The stakes are high, but with collective determination, the world
can navigate the complexities of climate change and forge a path towards a more
sustainable and equitable future.
The following two years will be critical, At COP29 in Azerbaijan, governments should
establish a new climate finance goal, reflecting the scale and urgency of the climate
challenge. At COPS0 in Brazil, they must come prepared with new nationally determined
contributions that are economy-wide, cover all greenhouse gases, and fully align with
the 15°C temperature limit.
The Paris Agreement must be put completely to work; every commitment ~ on finance,
‘adaptation, and mitigation - must bring us in line with a 1.8-degree world. This means
that companies responsible for the maximum emissions at the National level, especially
in the hard-to-abate sectors, will need ail the financial, technological, and regulatory
support to reduce emissions. This is possible given that we create accountability,
measurability, and incentivization or dis-incentivization for these companies as they
perform against the set targets and commitments.u
