COP28 Summit Ends With Landmark Deal to ‘Transition Away’ From Fossil Fuels
The COP28 climate summit concluded with nearly 200 nations reaching a historic agreement to transition away from fossil fuels. The pact, passed by President Sultan Al Jaber, falls short of phasing out fossil fuels but sets net-zero emissions by 2050 and strengthens the 1.5°C target. Key pledges include tripling renewable energy and doubling energy efficiency by 2030. A loss and damage fund was operationalized. The deal was criticized by some for loopholes, and the Alliance of Small Island States was absent during adoption. China and others objected to a 2025 emissions peak goal. COP29 is scheduled for November 2024 in Baku, Azerbaijan.
