Petersburg Climate Dialogue
The Petersburg Dialogue on Climate Change was recently held in Berlin, Germany. It was hosted by Germany and the United Arab Emirates.
Key Highlights:
The Petersburg Climate Dialogue is an annual high-level political and international forum held before the United Nations Climate Change Conferences (COP).
It was initiated in 2010, following the nearly unsuccessful negotiations at the 2009 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen (COP15).
The conference included topics such as climate adaptation, climate finance and dealing with loss and damage, but in particular the first-ever global stocktake
2023 is the year for the Global Stocktake, which is essentially a periodic review of global climate action which aims to assess whether current efforts will enable us to reach the objectives set out in the Paris Agreement, 2015.
