Deep dives
Phase out of fossil fuels in COP 28 agreement
The COP 28 conference saw a significant focus on phasing out fossil fuels, a topic that had not been extensively discussed in previous COPs. While the precise language of "phase out" did not make it into the final text, the agreement called for countries to transition away from fossil fuels in a manner that achieves net zero emissions by 2050. This shift in language marked a historic moment in recognizing the role of fossil fuels in driving the climate crisis. However, there remains skepticism about the real-world impact of this change and the commitments of major fossil fuel producers to transition to renewables.
