COP 28: A Global Dialogue
VITO will be a participant in COP28 – the 28th annual UN climate conference – taking place in Dubai from 30 November to 12 December 2023. This pivotal event will focus on collective efforts to limit global temperature rises to 1.5°C – as agreed in the Paris Agreement of 2015 – addressing crucial topics such as clean energy transition, financial support for climate action, and fostering inclusivity.
VITO’s International Climate Services
Within this global dialogue, VITO’s main focus will be on partnerships with countries and international organizations to collaborate on international climate services. These services are designed to support climate-informed decision-making for both mitigating and adapting to climate change. VITO's international climate services portfolio spans three main climate domains:
1. Climate Adaptation (Climate Resilience Support):
-
Tailored solutions enhancing resilience to climate challenges.
-
Expert guidance on best practices, technology assessments, and solution development.
2. Climate Mitigation (Climate Policy and Strategy Support)
-
Strategic support for developing and implementing effective climate policies.
-
Economic analysis and counseling to align strategies with global climate objectives.
3. Monitoring (Remote Sensing for Climate Data):
-
Remote sensing technologies for accurate and real-time climate data monitoring.
-
Proactive tools for informed decision-making in climate-related endeavors.
Through our international climate services, VITO accelerates the transition to a sustainable world. This involves the economic and societal support of Flanders through interdisciplinary climate-related research and the active involvement of Flemish companies in international technical assistance projects. Our commitment thus aligns with Europe’s Global Approach to Research and Innovation, emphasizing collaboration for innovative solutions in line with global sustainability goals.
