COP 28, taking place in the UAE, marks a critical juncture for global climate action. With a focus on inclusivity, transparency, pragmatism, and achieving tangible results, this conference seeks to advance an ambitious agenda. It builds on the foundations laid by its predecessors, notably COP 21, which led to the historic Paris Agreement. The mission of COP 28 is to limit the global temperature increase to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels by 2100, a goal essential for mitigating the adverse effects of climate change.

Linxon’s presence at COP 28 underscores our commitment to building the infrastructure to power the world with carbon-free energy, by reducing resource depletion, pollution, and biodiversity damage.

We have set ambitious targets to halve CO2 emissions by 2030 and achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. We’re dedicated to incorporating cutting-edge technologies in our products, promoting a circular approach in our current EPC projects, and designing products for disassembly and reuse. Our focus extends beyond mitigation; we recognize the importance of adaptation and loss and damage funding, ensuring that lives and livelihoods are protected.

Our local MEA team was eager to attend COP 28, viewing it as a remarkable opportunity to engage in vital discussions, share innovative ideas, and represent Linxon on the global stage.

We are committed to contributing our unique perspective and working collaboratively with other stakeholders to address the pressing climate challenges of our time.
