COP28
Major Goals 
The Conference of the Parties (COP) to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) is an international climate summit, which is held annually unless the Parties (the countries involved) decide otherwise. At COPs, world leaders gather to work together on solutions to tackle climate change. There are now 198 Parties (197 countries plus the European Union) to the Convention, constituting near universal membership.
Demands
As well as progress towards the existing Paris goals, COP28 will concentrate on:
fast-tracking the move to clean energy sources, to "slash" greenhouse gas emissions before 2030
delivering money for climate action from richer to poorer countries, and working on a new deal for developing nations

“But it also offers a really interesting concrete blueprint [and] mountain of evidence on how we can get the job done, so it should be a wakeup call of what we need to

Taking Action
adaptation
-Growing crops that will adapt and grow in the new climate
-expanding healthcare or prevent health problems caused by extreme weather events such as heat waves
-Protecting water sources from the effects of warmer temperatures and extreme weather, for example, building larger storage places
-Building more parks and green spaces where people can cool off.
Mitigation
-Switch from fossil fuels to other forms of energy such as solar or wind
-Drive a fuel-efficient car, ride a bike, or walk instead of driving.
-Reduce your energy use, such as by turning off the lights while no one is in the room
-Preserve green spaces or plant more trees to absorb greenhouse gases
-Use technology to capture CO2 emitted from smokestacks
-Consume locally made products instead of products that come from far away.
-Reduce, reuse, and recycle to reduce the amount of energy used to manufacture new products.
-Conserve water by using less or using it more efficiently.
