COP28 invites visitors to innovative Green Zone

The Green Zone at COP28

The COP28 U.N. climate summit must produce a final agreement that marks the beginning of the end for fossil fuels, European Union Climate Commissioner Wopke Hoekstra said on Wednesday.

Part of COP28 which runs until 12 December, an extensive array of environment-themed displays, panel discussions, workshops and shows are accessible to the wider community through free one-day Green Zone Day Passes obtained via online registration.

Upcoming activations include a discussion on 8 December to encourage visitors to join the Pledge for People and Planet – an opportunity for every individual to apply meaningful, climate-oriented solutions to everyday choices, from the food we buy and eat to how we reuse and recycle.

Visitors still have time to join public panel discussions on 6-8 December featuring Expo Live Global Innovators, social entrepreneurs from around the world whose creative solutions are already addressing climate change. The topics, which range from unlocking carbon credits to protecting wildlife to food security and alternative waste solutions, align with the climate summit’s theme days.

Meanwhile, on 10 December visitors can see the conclusion of the third cycle of the Expo Live University Innovation Programme, designed to incentivise creative thinking and collaboration among the country’s youth, with the winners – who will each receive a grant of AED25,000 to help turn their idea into reality – announced at event held at the Terra Auditorium.

The legacy of Expo 2020 Dubai, Expo City Dubai connects businesses, government, organizations, educational institutions, residents and visitors, working together to drive progress and create a better, more equitable, more sustainable future for all.
