COP28

The 2023 United Nations Climate Change Conference, known as COP28, was held from November 30 to December 13 at Expo City in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The conference was intended for governments to agree on policies to limit global temperature rises and adapt to climate change impacts. A final compromise agreement, the UAE Consensus, was reached, committing signatory countries to move away from carbon energy sources and reach net zero by 2050. However, the deal was criticized for its lack of clear commitment to fossil fuel phase-out or phase-down, and China and India did not sign the pledge to triple their renewable energy output. The conference was also marred by controversy surrounding its president, Sultan Al Jaber, and the host country's environmental record and role as a major fossil fuel producer.learn more on wikipedia
