In 2023, the UN Climate Change Conference (UNFCCC COP (Conference of the Parties) 28) was hosted in the United Arab Emirates. To mark COP28, the University of Birmingham (UoB) orchestrated a comprehensive communications and engagement strategy.
A programme of activity was curated by the University to highlight research outcomes and capitalise on opportunities to collaborate with policy makers and other stakeholder groups. This initiative was geared towards fostering meaningful partnerships and driving impactful projects in sustainability and climate change.
This work was led by the Birmingham Institute for Sustainability and Climate Action (BISCA); and it built on a range of activities at COP26 in Glasgow, presence at COP27 in Sharm El Sheik and the Keeping 1.5°C Alive project.
