Climate leaders call for overhaul of COP governance
"COPs should exclude countries and companies who do not support the phase out of fossil fuels."
A group of senior global climate leaders are calling for COP conferences to exclude countries not committed to phasing out fossil fuels and to become more focused on the delivery and implementation of climate goals.
The group of more than 22 scientists, former ministers and current presidents and CEOs of business-led climate associations sent an open letter to UN Secretary General AntĆ³nio Guterres on November 15, at the end of the first week of COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan.
