COP Engagement

This year’s delegation, comprised of staff representing strong congressional climate champions from the Conservative Climate Caucus and U.S. House committees, saw firsthand the role the United States can play in strengthening global energy security. We were also joined by a Republican-led delegation of bipartisan Members of Congress from the U.S. House Committee on Energy Commerce, spearheaded by Rep. August Pfluger (R-TX).

The Conservative Climate Foundation (CCF) hosted a delegation at the 2023 United Nations Conference of Parties (COP28) in Dubai, UAE. The delegation consisted of a bicameral group of 26 Republican senior staff to spotlight American leadership in clean energy as a pivotal solution to the global climate challenge on an international stage.  

The conference was led by Rep. John Curtis (R-Utah)—founder and head of the House Conservative Climate Caucus—and Rep. Garret Graves (R-La.)—chair of the House Republican leadership task force on Energy, Climate, and Conservation—along with four other members including Rep. Greg Murphy (R-N.C.), Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks (R-Iowa), Rep. Tim Walberg (R-Mich.), and Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-Texas).
