• World Stage highlight: Can COP28 save the world? The United Nations’ biennial Global Stocktake report is unequivocal: the world is not on target to curb global warming, and more action is needed on all fronts. The UN report will form the basis of COP28 talks in Dubai in late November, putting pressure on world political and business leaders in a year marked by devastating wildfires and soaring temperatures across the globe.
