COP28 in Dubai: Mancunians share their thoughts on this year’s Climate Change Conference & biggest global warming concerns

The 2023 United Nations Climate Change Conference, more commonly known as COP28 will be taking place in Dubai from November 10-December 12.

COP28 is bringing leaders from across the globe together to find solutions to climate change - and with this year's extreme weather and global temperatures hitting record highs, the conference is an ideal opportunity to take action.

With the UAE being one of the world's top 10 oil producers, hosting the conference in Dubai's Expo City has stirred up some controversy.

According to the BBC, the United Arab Emirates planned to use its role as the host of UN climate talks as an opportunity to strike oil and gas deals.

We asked people in Manchester their thoughts on COP28 and to share their main climate change concerns.
