📰 PRESS RELEASE — "COP28: New Path To Transition Away From Fossil Fuels Marred by Lack of Finance and Loopholes."
Read civil society's response to the #COP28 outcome here: https://t.co/7bk6CLBvlX
The decision at #COP28 to finally recognize that the climate crisis is, at its heart, a fossil fuel crisis is an important milestone. But it is also the bare minimum we need and is long overdue. The influence of petrostates is still evident in the half measures and loopholes included in the final agreement.
Fossil fuel interests went all out to control the outcome, but the passionate work of millions of climate activists around the world inspired and motivated delegates from many nations to loosen the industry’s grip.
Whether this is a turning point that truly marks the beginning of the end of the fossil fuel era depends on the actions that come next and the mobilization of finance required to achieve them.
We must ask ourselves how much longer will the world have wait before all nations summon the political will to overcome these narrow special interests and act on behalf of the future of humanity. It is up to all of us to hold our leaders accountable to their promise to transition away from fossil fuels once and for all.
📸 As the negotiations stretch into the night, people line the entrance to the meeting rooms at #COP28.
Together, they are forming a human chain — joining the call for negotiators to #HoldTheLine and deliver a fast, fair, forever, full and funded phaseout of fossil fuels.
Climate organizer @TasneemEssop of @CANIntl shares outcomes from this year’s U.N. climate conference #COP28, including the role of COP president Sultan Al Jaber and the continued need for developed countries to lead a global energy transition.
