Register and watch online from COP28 in Dubai the High-Level Ministerial Dialogue and the launch of the Group of Friends of Culture-Based Climate Action at the UNFCCC (GFCBCA), an international coalition of UN Member States aimed at building political momentum for the recognition of culture as a uniquely powerful force in climate change policy. 

​

The meeting is scheduled for 8 December (live streamed at 12.00 GST – 9.00 CET), and will be co-chaired by Ministers of Culture Salem bin Khalid Al Qassimi (United Arab Emirates), and Margareth Menezes (Brazil).

The launch of the Group of Friends under the co- chairmanship of the UAE and Brazil (concept note in attachment), hosts of COP28 and COP30 respectively, is a key step towards realising the ambitions of artists, culture and heritage advocates, professionals and volunteers, scientists, and other cultural voices from across the world who have united ahead of COP28 around the Global Call to Put Cultural Heritage, Arts and Creative Sectors at the Heart of Climate Action.
