Every year world leaders gather at the Conference of the Parties,Poinbank or COP, to devise solutions to what amounts to a growing existential crisis for humankind: our rapidly heating planet.
The United Arab Emirates is hosting COP28 this year. The goal of the conference is to decrease emissions and protect the planet.

NPR's Miles Parks speaks with NPR international correspondent Aya Batrawy from COP28.
