COP28 ends with deal on transition away from fossil fuels | DW News

A historic deal has been struck at the UN climate summit in Dubai that will see a transition away from the use of fossil fuels. The clear reference to the future of fossil fuels is a first but does not call for fossil fuels to be phased out, as many countries demanded. The exact text say: "Transitioning away from fossil fuels in energy systems, in a just, orderly and equitable manner, accelerating action in this critical decade, so as to achieve net zero by 2050 in keeping with the science." It also includes the goal of tripling the capacity of renewable energies by 2030 and doubling the pace of energy efficiency during this period, something G20 countries have already committed to.
