The United Nations 28th global climate conference, also known as COP28, just wrapped up in Dubai.

And this year a group of 20 students from the College of St. Benedict and St. John’s University got to observe the heated discussions about climate change and fossil fuels.

Finn Dolezal was a part of that group. He’s a sophomore majoring in economics and minoring in math at St. John's. He shared more about his time at COP28.
