This year, COP28, the annual United Nations climate change conference was held this year in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. SFS Professor Joanna Lewis – Provost’s Distinguished Associate Professor of Energy and Environment – attended as part of Georgetown’s delegation of students, faculty, and staff. In this latest installment of our “Breaking It Down” faculty video series, Lewis reflects on the progress made at COP28 and outlines some of the challenges the world continues to face in climate policy.
Several goals were set at COP28 this year, including tripling renewable energy capacity by 2030, doubling the rate of energy efficiency and beginning the move away from fossil fuels.
