COP 28: activists demonstrate in Dubai – (FRANCEINFO)
Since the start of COP 28 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, activists from all over the world have been stepping up their efforts to make their voices heard.
This is a rare event in Dubai: a gathering of activists, Friday December 8. In the United Arab Emirates, demonstrations are prohibited but, on the sidelines of COP 28, they have exceptionally been authorized. Since the start of the event, activists from the four corners of the globe have been marching in front of the doors of the conference rooms. Under the gaze of numerous security agents, activists denounce the ongoing negotiations.
A consensus by December 12
Any request for an event must be approved by the COP 28 secretariat; organizations have a time slot of approximately 25 minutes and a very limited space. Several gatherings are also planned for this Saturday, December 9, an agreement on energy must be adopted by consensus by December 12 to hope to keep global warming at 1.5%.
