In December 2023, I attended the 28th Conference of the Parties (COP28) of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in Dubai, UAE with a group of social scientists from the American Anthropological Association (AAA). Unsurprisingly, my perspectives on this experience are complex and not easily captured in a single description.
I've detailed some of my experiences in these blog posts:
