The UN’s Climate Change Conference, or “COP28” Summit was held from November 30 through December 13th in Dubai, UAE. The Conference consisted of 150 heads of State and Government and 85,000 participants representing countries, organizations, etc. This year’s summit focused on where the world is in relation to the goals initially outlined in the Paris Agreement (forget what that is? Refresher here: LINK). Spoiler alert – the world is nowhere near achieving the goals outlined, and the focus became how the countries involved can speed up their action on climate change mitigation through multiple avenues.

The second segment by emission % is Medium- and Heavy-Duty Vehicles.

New Administration, New Focus - Executive Orders & Industry Impacts

Topics: Keystone XL, Climate Change, clean power plan, Biden Administration, paris accord
