The topic is the World Climate Conference COP28 in Dubai at the end of November.
For this special webinar, we are teaming up with the Green, Socialdemocrat and Left groups in the European Parliament for this first cross-party and pan-European discussion on COP28 – live online and direct from the European Parliament. You don’t want to miss this!
