Foreign Affairs Minister inaugurates the Chile Pavilion at COP28 and presents its Turquoise Foreign Policy

In the context of the COP28 being held in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Alberto van Klaveren, inaugurated the Chile Pavilion, a space that represents our country and where various activities will be developed, with the aim of focusing the discussion on the need to advance in the care of the environment and the fight against the climate crisis.

At the inauguration, the minister presented Chile's Turquoise Foreign Policy, which reaffirms one of the pillars of our country's foreign policy, through the search for opportunities and solutions to address the triple planetary emergency associated with climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution.

During the activity, the Minister stated that "through our Turquoise Foreign Policy, we want to lead and coordinate our action with an integrating approach, to obtain more and better results throughout the development of the international environmental agenda".

Chile's pavilion is located in the Blue Zone of COP28 and has four main areas: energy transition, nature-based solutions, green finance, and cryosphere and Antarctica. It is a space that is open to national delegates participating in the COP, both from government, NGOs, businesses and civil society, seeking to be a meeting point and a promotion of Chilean initiatives to address the climate crisis.
