Dubai to host COP28

27-11-23

The city-emirate of Dubai - rich in oil, luxury tourism by air and infrastructure and megalomaniac projects - is hosting this year's United Nations Climate Change Summit (COP28), an event that for almost fifteen days will seek to find solutions to the environmental crisis unleashed by global warming.            

Dubai is the second richest and most populous of the seven emirates that make up the United Arab Emirates (UAE), a buoyant economy that boomed with the exploitation of oil after World War II and that over the years has diversified with very lax fiscal policies and a total opening to global trade and finance that have consolidated its role as a notable player on the global economic chessboard despite its small size.
