Climate activists have urged Indonesia to play a stronger role in ensuring the global carbon market will not undermine the real greenhouse gas emissions reduction efforts ahead of the upcoming United Nations Climate Change Conference, or COP28, later this year.

The United Arab Emirates will host the 28th UN climate summit in Dubai from Nov. 30 to Dec. 12 this year. The conference’s main focus will be fast-tracking the energy transition, climate financing and adaptation to the impacts of the climate crisis, said Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, the CEO of the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company and president-designate for COP28, in a statement last Thursday.

The summit was expected to work out the details of the international carbon market mechanism as well as the loss and damage funding mechanism.
