12 JCAM 2023 Annual Review COP28: A Catalyst for Urgent Climate Ac琀椀on Tione M. Phwandaphwanda - Jesuit Centre for Ecology and Development (JCED) Delegates at the COP28 UN Climate Change Conference in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates. As a delegate representing Malawi and faith-based organizations, my focus at COP28 hosted in Dubai in November 2023, centred on discussions related to agriculture and food systems. Given my involvement in resilience-building projects with farmers at the Jesuit Centre for Ecology and Development (JCED), this theme resonated deeply. Additionally, my interest in loss and damage stemmed from JCED's extensive work on supporting and advocating for financing in this domain to aid those vulnerable to climate-related disasters. COP28 was a truly awe-inspiring experience, with over 90,000 participants engaging both physically and online. The dedication exhibited during negotiations, despite the laborious and sometimes frustrating processes, was commendable. Various side events and pavilions were bustling with presentations and discussions, providing valuable platforms for knowledge sharing. Attendees enriched each other with theories, practices, and technologies aimed at accelerating climate action.
