First Minister Humza Yousaf intends to participate in COP28, the international climate change conference, in Dubai at the end of the month.

Mr Yousaf said the global conference provides an opportunity to highlight Scotland’s commitment to addressing the twin crises of climate and nature as a good global citizen, as he pledged to call on world leaders to take greater action and provide loss and damage funding for countries suffering the worst impacts of climate change.

The Cabinet Secretary for Transport, Net Zero, and Just Transition Mairi McAllan will also participate in the Conference to showcase the progress Scotland is making to deliver a just transition to next zero and continuing work to build renewables and hydrogen industries.

A delegation of Scottish companies from across a variety of sectors, including renewable energy, will accompany the First Minister at COP28 to highlight Scotland’s global reputation and attract investment in Scotland.

The Scottish Chambers of Commerce is proud to be a partner of Scotland’s delegation of leading Net Zero businesses visiting COP28 to showcase the country’s ambition and expertise in net zero solutions.

Also supported by Scottish Development International, this delegation will be aligned with the country’s COP28 ambitions, including a commitment to international partnership on climate change solutions, the provision of fair work, and inclusive economic growth.
