In order to limit warming to less than 1.5°C, significant and rapid reductions in greenhouse gas emissions must be implemented by 2030. However, climate science indicates that the current national emission reduction targets and implementation will fall short of achieving the 1.5°C goal.
COP28 will be held in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates from November 30, 2023, and there the participants will discuss how to strengthen global climate change measures in response to these warnings from science.

On the occasion of COP28, we summarized the issues with ammonia co-firing, as well as its potential domestic and international impacts.
