Determination conquered doubt in Dubai, now we need a new goal on climate finance to be agreed at this year's climate summit in Baku.

Sultan Al Jaber, president of the UNFCCC COP28 Climate Conference, speaks during a plenary session on day thirteen of COP28 on Dec. 13, 2023 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

Nations reframed the narrative around climate action as an opportunity for socio-economic growth, as opposed to a burden to bear. In the end, determination conquered doubt.

Inclusivity was also key to success at COP28: we engaged all sectors of society, including the private sector and the energy industry, to translate global goals into real-world solutions.
