Police detain climate activists blocking the main highway around Amsterdam near the former headquarters of a ING bank to protest its financing of fossil fuels, Saturday, Dec. 30, 2023. Protestors walked onto the road at midday, snarling traffic around the Dutch capital in the latest road blockade organized by the Dutch branch of Extinction Rebellion. Protestor's poster reads "ING blocks the way to a livable future". Patrick Post - stringer, ASSOCIATED PRESS

State of Play

Talks are well underway in preparation for the next major international meeting on climate change, 28th Conference of the Parties (COP28), scheduled to begin Nov. 30 in the United Arab Emirates. 

Much like last year’s COP27, finances — specifically, aid to developing nations — will be at the center of conference deliberations.

The conference faces an even greater sense of urgency brought on by the Sept. 8, 2023, release of the first global stocktake, which calls for accelerated action to meet the goals set in the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement (COP21).
