Delegates at #COP28 played a waiting game Monday, as talks were largely held behind closed doors
The first part of the governing bodies’ closing plenary brought only small new decisions

- “reducing” consumption and production of fossil fuels to achieve net zero “by, before, or around 2050.”
#COP28
@IISD_ENB : Reactions to the GST draft released late in the afternoon were fast and furious. Hopes that this text would include language calling for a phase out or down of fossil fuels were dashed. The text suggests instead a laundry list of actions parties “could” do, including:
📰 It's the "final" day of #COP28, and ECO's message today is to negotiators:

“The future of humanity is in your hands. One summit will not change the world. But today can be a powerful moment to generate momentum, that we build on over the coming months. We can – and we must turn up the tempo. Turn plans into action and turn the tide.” @UN
“Humanity has opened the gates of hell. Horrendous heat is having horrendous effects. Distraught farmers watching crops carried away by floods; Sweltering temperatures spawning disease; And thousands fleeing in fear as historic fires rage." - Sec Gen of the UN, @antonioguterres
... “The path forward is clear. It has been forged by fighters and trailblazers – some of whom are with us today: Activists refusing to be silenced; Indigenous Peoples defending their lands from climate extremes"...

It's on! The historic March to End Fossil Fuels is taking to the streets of NYC. Follow along with us for more clips from the heart of the march! #EndFossilFuels
Fossil fuels spurred the climate crisis. Now, as greenhouse gas emissions continue to warm the planet at an alarming rate, the health of communities, wildlife and ecosystems around the world hangs in the balance. It’s time to stop the fossil fuel industry in its tracks.
I’ll be joining thousands in NYC on 9/17 to urge @POTUS + other leaders to speed the transition off fossil fuels
After months of wrenching disasters, it's past time for a show of strength and unity.
