Each year, IEMA publishes a briefing note on the Conference of the Parties – IEMA’s Senior Policy and Engagement Lead for Climate Change and Energy Chloë Fiddy looks at the key topics on the agenda and the outcomes that IEMA would like to see from COP29.
Prior to the political party conference season in 2023, IEMA published a series of key asks for policymakers. Following the
announcement of the general election, these asks were updated to reflect changes in the policy landscape and the evolving insights of our members.
This briefing note provides a short overview of what to expect at the 28th Conference of the Parties (COP28) in UAE. Once again we review the context, the agenda and set out what IEMA hopes to see as the outcomes. It also includes a lexicon of key terminology associated with the COP process and a reminder of some of the milestones reached in the past.
Through our key policy groups IEMA developed a series of recommendations for policymakers that we believe can help make the realisation of this goal a reality. Importantly, these recommendations should not be considered in a siloed way. All of these areas relate to one another in a practical sense and so should be considered as a package of joined-up interventions.
This document builds on the proposals set out in IEMA Core Principles for Environmental Policymaking (2022).
