The 28th conference of the Parties (COP 28) will be held from the 30th of November until the 12th of December 2023 at the Expo City, in Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates. Issues relevant to Loss and Damage will be discussed at COP 28 in the following agendas: matters relating to the Santiago Network for Loss and Damage (Santiago network); the first Global Stocktake of the Paris Agreement (GST); Loss and Damage Finance including the Loss and Damage Fund and Funding Arrangements; the New Collective Quantified Goal on Climate Finance (NCQG); and the Warsaw International Mechanism for Loss and Damage.

For each of these workstreams, this brief provides a short summary of what will be negotiated at COP 28, and the Loss and Damage Collaboration’s expectations on what COP 28 must deliver.
