The 28th session of the UN Climate Change Conference of Parties (COP28) will convene from 30 November to 12 December 2023 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE). Better Cotton is thrilled to be part of The Standards Pavilion by ISO and host a side-event on sustainable agriculture and ways to drive the adoption of climate-smart practices in global value chains.
