Fanack’s The Chronicle of the Middle East and North Africa (Fanack) and Fanack Water (Water) will be represented at COP28 in Dubai, functioning as an international/regional platform for balanced outreach and understanding.
Fanack as a global online publication in Arabic and English, with a reach in the tens of millions, recognizes this time of risk for the region and world, as also a time to make the most of channels for dialogue both within the Middle East, and with the world.
We see our media landscape rapidly transforming both in content and in importance, as the world looks more to the Middle East during this time of conflict while leaders are gathering for the 28th United Nations Conference of the Parties on Climate Change (COP).
At COP28, Fanack representatives Reinier Hietink, Vice President International Relations, and Matt Luna, Editor/Senior Advisor Climate and Security, will engage with representatives of organizations, governments and education institutions specifically on topics of water resources in climate adaptation, greening initiatives and land restoration for the Middle East, climate-related conflict risk reduction, and sharing messages of resilience initiatives across sectors.
As the urgency of mitigating climate risks and adapting to emerging scenarios is increasing at a more visible pace, it is crucial to support genuine efforts toward goals that require generous cooperation from numerous and diverse parties. Even amid any skepticism and controversy surrounding this and previous COPs, we must all keep our focus on making the most of opportunities for positive outcomes at this once-per-year global conference, and then making the information accessible to benefit areas of risk and need.
Follow Fanack in contributing to these efforts at COP28 from 3-10 December, and feel free to contact us here, www.fanack.com, for inquiries on high-level cooperation in our recognized platform. The Chronicle is founded on the belief that knowledge matters and facts count, and we will continue to deliver this message to benefit communities, governments and industry – all working toward an optimistic future.
