The United Nations annual climate talks, known as COP 28, are underway in Dubai, UAE. The conference brings together world leaders, business officials, scientists, and activists to discuss ways to combat climate change. Notable absentees this year are President Biden and China's President Xi Jinping, who recently announced a bilateral agreement on emissions reduction. Various leaders have pledged their commitment to address climate change, including signing statements calling for a full exit from fossil fuels. However, skepticism remains about the effectiveness of the conference and whether meaningful change will occur.
