THE CHALLENGE

The UAE’s Leadership sought to ensure the flawless delivery and exceptional guest experience for this crucial global event so that participants could focus on achieving the overarching goal of a ‘COP of action’. This required managing the movements of over 154 Heads of State and Government through the seamless delivery of airport operations, accommodation, protocol services and motorcade movements. It also required smooth and efficient operations for all other guest groups through meticulous planning and operational integration across multiple functional areas.

THE SOLUTION

Trivandi embedded a team of 49 specialists throughout the planning and delivery phases, including senior team members who worked in partnership with the event’s leadership team to identify gaps, drive solutions and lead the complex operational integration under very tight timescales.

Trivandi’s remit included Senior Leadership Advisory, Central Planning PMO, C3 and MOC Operations, Protocol Operations, Airport and Transport Logistics, Operational Integration, Crowd Management, Guest Experience Assurance, and Sustainability Assurance.

THE RESULT

Trivandi’s contribution to the event’s smooth and efficient operations and exceptional guest experience enabled participants to successfully set out a robust action plan to mitigate the effects of global climate change and limit temperature rises to 1.5C.

Additionally, the largest-ever attendance at a COP were able to enjoy the UAE’s warm hospitality and a unique COP experience that enriched cultural understanding

The event reinforced COP28's role as a pivotal forum for impacting global climate efforts and showcased Dubai’s capability in hosting major international conferences.
