Remembering Saleemul Huq, the man who changed the conversation about climate change
Saleemul Huq influenced U.N. climate talks immensely over the years, by spotlighting what wealthy countries owe to less-developed nations. He died at 71, shortly before this year's COP28 talks began.

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).
