COP 28 Conference: Mixed Results in Addressing Climate Change
The 28th Conference of Parties (COP 28), a global meeting on climate change, took place in Dubai. Fossil fuels were acknowledged as a major contributor to climate change for the first time. However, there was a lack of clear steps to phase out fossil fuels, with no specific language or plans in the agreement. Additionally, funding from wealthier countries to help poorer nations recover from climate impacts and transition to green technologies was not provided. Despite its shortcomings, the conference remains a crucial global forum for discussing and addressing climate change.
