DEL MAR, Calif. - Washingtoner -- The Samuel Lawrence Foundation invites you to join the First Friday Series webinar, Live from Dubai, on December 1 at 11:30 AM PST (2:30 PM EST). This live, open discussion provides a unique opportunity to hear directly from participants at the forefront of the UN's annual climate conference, COP28, hosted by the United Arab Emirates in Dubai.

The UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), officially known as COP28, marks the 28th Conference of the Parties. This annual gathering, rooted in the legacy of the 1992 UN Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, brings together global leaders, experts, and activists to address the critical challenges of climate change in the context of 30+ years of climate developments.

This conference holds unprecedented significance. Global temperatures are projected to rise 1.5° C. There is an urgent need to avert a potential 3° C rise or there will be severe consequences for sustainable living on our planet.
