COP28 was a critical moment in driving global climate action. A major agenda item of the conference was the "Global Stocktake," which focused on developing emission reduction plans, reducing the production of fossil fuels such as oil and coal, and increasing the use of renewable energy. Joint actions to address global climate change risks and to promote global energy transition and security were also key discussion points.

Subsequently, they were invited to attend and exchange with French President Macron, UN Secretary-General Guterres, Commonwealth Secretary-General Patricia, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, UAE Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology and Climate Change Affairs Envoy Sultan Al Jaber, among others.
