"As negotiators stagger towards their beds in Dubai and another year’s climate
talks come to a close, it’s time to take stock. Did COP28 achieve the big
breakthrough the world needs on climate change?
Probably not. But the final agreement – met with an ovation – includes a first
call for nations to transition away from fossil fuels. It’s a step short of a
commitment to phasing the fuels out, as some delegates had pushed for. But the
development suggests the days of fossil fuels are numbered.
The overriding question the world now faces is whether the broad commitments
nations agreed to are enough as climate change gathers pace. The answer,
alarmingly, is no."
