The council wants to build on the legacy of COP26, which was held in Glasgow and play a part in climate discussions.
Councillor Aitken's attendance aims to build on relationships with other cities so Glasgow can take part in global debate and continue the legacy of its hosting of COP26.
SNP Councillor Greg Hepburn said: "It is vital that Glasgow is represented and able to take on a leading role in events like COP. The climate crisis is just that - it is a crisis. It will not be solved and more people will be adversely affected worldwide if we don't unite both domestically and internationally to tackle it."Councillor Aitken previously went to COP27 in Egypt and took part in a number of events, particularly looking at climate finance.
The carbon footprint for the journey is about 1.73 tonnes CO2e per person according to the council report. It also noted the concern of "human rights organisations regarding the hosting of COP28 in UAE in relation to restrictions on protest and on the rights of LGBTQ+ people, and in relation to its oil and gas expansion plans."
