Colombia and its neighbors will together push six key themes at this year's UN climate conference, including help adapting to global warming and swapping debt for climate mitigation, the country's Environment Minister Susana Muhamad said on Friday.
The United Nations 28th meeting on climate, known as COP28, takes places from Nov. 30 to Dec. 12 in Dubai.
As well as pushing for help adapting to climate change, Latin American countries will call for the region to be covered by early warning systems to save lives amid disasters due to climate change, she said. Separately Colombia will push for a multilateral agreement to phase out fossil fuels, Muhamad said, without giving a deadline, though she recognized the effort will likely not be very popular.
