Which country hosted the COP28 climate summit in 2023 ?
United Arab Emirates
COP28 was hosted by the United Arab Emirates — option 4.
The meeting. The 28th Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change was held at Expo City, Dubai, from 30 November to 13 December 2023, presided over by Sultan Al Jaber.
| What was agreed | Significance |
|---|---|
| The first Global Stocktake | The first formal assessment of collective progress under the Paris Agreement; it found the world far off track for 1·5 °C |
| “Transitioning away from fossil fuels” | The first COP decision ever to name fossil fuels as the thing to be moved away from, in energy systems, by 2050 |
| Loss and Damage Fund | Operationalised on the opening day, with initial pledges — the fund had been agreed in principle at COP27 |
| Global pledges | To treble renewable capacity and double the rate of energy-efficiency improvement by 2030 |
The sequence of recent COPs — and each wrong option belongs to it :
| COP | Year | Host |
|---|---|---|
| COP26 | 2021 | Glasgow, United Kingdom |
| COP27 | 2022 | Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt |
| COP28 | 2023 | Dubai, United Arab Emirates |
| COP29 | 2024 | Baku, Azerbaijan |
| COP30 | 2025 | Belém, Brazil |
India at COP28. India proposed the Green Credit Initiative and offered to host COP33 in 2028, and reiterated its target of net zero by 2070 together with the LiFE — Lifestyle for Environment — approach it had introduced at Glasgow.
Hence, the answer is the United Arab Emirates.
