combat Climate Change doing your DofE

Day 1

COP28 is taking place from Thursday 30th November to Tuesday 12th December this year and the location that has been chosen to host this important occasion is Dubai.

Many government representatives, world leaders, climate activists and public figures will be discussing with each other how we can at this current moment continue to combat the ever-changing issue that is Climate Change through the acts of debate. 
We thought that it would be inspiring to create a guide for our followers to use in how best to combat Climate Change whilst you complete each of your Duke Of Edinburgh Award level sections.
