The upcoming Cop 28 climate conference will be held at Expo City Dubai, President Sheikh Mohamed has said.

The meeting of world leaders in November 2023 will seek to find solutions to the threats posed by climate change.

Expo City - the legacy district of the six-month Expo 2020 Dubai world fair - was unveiled to the public earlier this week. It will reopen to the public from October 2022 with residents and businesses set to move to the area.

At the 28th session of the Conference of the Parties, as it is formally known, leaders will be urged to commit to tougher action on climate change including cutting the use of coal-fired power stations, reducing reliability on fossil fuels and boosting renewable energy sources.

It will follow on from Cop 27 in Egypt this November.
