COP 28, Need for Strategic Transition of West Asia Region

COP 28, Need for Strategic Transition of West Asia Region

Strategic Council Online – Opinion: In the past two weeks, the leaders and officials of the countries participating in the United Nations Climate Change Conference known as COP28 gathered in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, to make efforts to limit global warming and increase the reduction of the role of fossil fuels in the world. Although the heavy shadow of the Israeli regime’s inhumane attacks on the Gaza Strip has cast a shadow on the conference, this year’s dry autumn and low rainfall and the dark and low rainfall winters of the past few years remind us that attention to climate change and addressing its causes and reasons is no longer a luxury or an unimportant issue, and neglecting it can directly endanger the food security, welfare, and life of the citizens of different countries, and as a result, face those governments with serious risks.
