Leading from an initiative spearheaded by Dr William Austin in the School of Geography and Sustainable Development in 2021 where the University was invited to attend COP 26 in Glasgow as an observer, several delegates from the University attended COP 28 in Dubai, including Dr Mette High from the School of Philosophy, Anthropology, and Film Studies and Director of the Centre for Energy Ethics, Dr Gosia Mitka from the School of Business and Associate Dean of Education (Arts and Divinity), Dr Paul Webb and Dr John Irvine from the School of Chemistry. Engagement included the opportunity to present a summary of the University’s lead on the global blue carbon program (GO-BC), and to participate in an ocean leadership panel discussion.
