Reflections after COP 28
<p>Reflecting on COP 28, my experience was shaped by a blend of preparation, engagement, and personal perspective. Having immersed myself in the terminology of the global stocktake, loss and damage, and the global goal on adaptation through the <a href="https://www.who.int/news-room/events/detail/2023/11/23/default-calendar/climate-classroom-on-cop28---climate-negotiations-and-health" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Climate Classroom @COP28</a> , I felt more equipped to navigate the complexities of the conference. A year of participation in the <a href="https://www.publicengagementleadership.com/changemakers" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Global Climate and Health Leadership Program</a> further refined my understanding, values, and approach to COP 28.</p>
<p>These musings don’t aim for academic profundity, but rather offer a synthesis of insights from one of the world’s most significant gatherings under the United Nations umbrella. I felt no pressure to produce an intellectually dense piece, much like the absence of pressure to aggressively network. Exhausted after traversing nearly six kilometers in the expansive Dubai Expo City each day, I would run out of social bundles, with my communication often reduced to gestures, surprisingly effective in our Tower of Babel.</p>
