<p>The Al-Attiyah Foundation will conclude its 2023 activities with its fourth and final CEO Roundtable of the year on December 6. At the event, captains of industry and<br />
global experts will convene to reflect on the key events of the passing year and postulate on what might be significant in the months to come.</p>

<p>&ldquo;Reflecting on 2023 and Shaping Climate Action in 2024&rdquo; differs from previous December roundtables as will take place during the United Nations Climate Change<br />
Conference or Conference of the Parties (COP28). Consequently, the themes of the dialogue could prove to be dynamic as decisions and pronouncements made - or not made - at COP28 may alter the direction of the energy transition in the immediate term. For example, nations have been submitting their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC&rsquo;s) over the past five years and the subsequent assessment of the results, or &lsquo;Global Stock Take&rsquo;, will be analysed at COP28.</p>

<p>Although this may prove to be politically divisive, it could set the stage for the next few years of global action to slash the greenhouse gas emissions causing climate change.</p>
