With 80,000 Attendees, COP28 Becomes Largest UN Climate Summit Ever
COP28 is officially the largest ever UN climate summit, with 80,000 participants registered on a list that -- for the first time -- shows who they work for.

Until this year, those taking part were not obliged to say who they worked for, making it tricky to detect lobbyists and identify negotiators' potential conflicts of interest. 

Some 104,000 people, including technical and security staff, have access this year to the "blue zone" dedicated to the actual climate negotiations and the pavilions of the states and organisations present. 

That largely exceeds the previous record at last year's UN climate summit in Egypt, COP27, which had 49,000 accredited attendees, and where oil and gas lobbyists outnumbered most national delegations, according to NGOs.

3 Leaders Boycott COP28 Family Photo Over Belarus' Lukashenko
Polish, Latvian and Lithuanian presidents refused to pose for a family photo with world leaders at the COP28 climate summit over the presence of Belarusian strongman Alexander Lukashenko.

"This is called a family photo. Lukashenko does not belong to the family which we want to be a part of," Lithuanian President Gitanas Nauseda said in a statement sent to AFP.

"It would be hypocritical to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the head of state that has become a staging ground for Russia's aggression against Ukraine and to discuss the future of the world and climate change as if nothing happened," Nauseda added.

King Charles Urges Rapid Environmental Repair In COP28 Speech
King Charles said the world was "dreadfully far off track" on addressing climate change and that the global economy would be in peril unless the environment was rapidly repaired.

"I pray with all my heart that COP28 will be another critical turning point towards genuine transformational action," he said, in reference to the 2015 summit held in France.

The monarch cited the impact of climate change globally, including floods in India and Pakistan and severe wildfires in the United States, Canada and Greece.

"Unless we rapidly repair and restore nature's unique economy, based on harmony and balance, which is our ultimate sustainer, our own economy and survivability will be imperilled," he said.
