The COP28 climate conference has agreed to “transition away from,” rather than “phase out,” fossil fuels, according to the final document approved by the 195-nation entity. The document calls for a 43% reduction in global greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 compared to 2019 levels and advocates for tripling the deployment of renewable power and action on methane. However, it also approves the use of transitional fuels like carbon-emitting natural gas. Developing countries expressed concerns about the lack of implementation means, finance, and technology transfer support, while China stressed the historical responsibility of developed countries in addressing climate change.
