A documentary was released on Saturday to celebrate the landmark moment the world came together to deliver the UAE Consensus and conclude crunch climate talks at Dubai's Cop28 on a high.
The 20-minute film – called Eye of the Storm – chronicles how the agreement was reached by all 198 parties at the UN event last year, striking a crucial blow in the fight against climate change.
The deal called for the international community to transition away from fossil fuels to achieve net zero by 2050 and also set time-bound targets to greatly increase global renewable energy capacity.
The film has been shared as world leaders, environmental campaigners and experts prepare for Cop29, being held in Azerbaijan from November 11 to 22.
It is viewed as being vital to efforts to limit global temperature increases to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.
Dr Sultan Al Jaber, Cop28 President, said this week that Cop29 must build on the foundations laid down in Dubai in 2023.
A finance deal at Cop29 “must provide the means to implement the UAE Consensus. The quantum we agree on should meet the size of the challenge”, Dr Al Jaber, who is also UAE Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology, said during pre-Cop talks in Baku on Thursday.
