With global temperatures now at record highs and extreme weather affecting people worldwide, the United Nations Climate Change Conference, COP28, presents an opportunity to address the pressing climate crisis. COP28 will serve as a platform to assess progress on the Paris Agreement and devise strategies to significantly reduce emissions and secure the fate of our planet and the well-being of generations yet unborn.

We are not sugar coating the issue at hand. This is not an easy path. It's a journey fraught with complexities and trade-offs. It requires courage, innovation, and international cooperation on an unprecedented scale.

Governments, corporations, and individuals should mobilise to embrace the challenge, not shy away from it. We want our world leaders to challenge the status quo and push for policies and investments that drive both energy transition and security. This is not a zero-sum game. It's a call to redefine the rules, to rewrite the narrative, and to reimagine a world where we don't have to choose between our planet's future and our own security.
