COP28: Global stocktake negotiations shift towards fossil fuel phase-out and role of carbon capture
Almost halfway through the UN climate change conference, the draft of the global stocktake contains “the ingredients for an ambitious outcome”.
A new draft of the global stocktake includes language around the phase-out of fossil fuels and the role of carbon capture and storage in achieving net zero emissions – contentious issues to be negotiated by global ministers in the second week of COP28.
Almost halfway through the UN climate change conference in Dubai, a new draft text for the global stocktake to be agreed upon by governments by December 12 was released early this morning – with “the ingredients for an ambitious outcome”, according to Tom Evans, Policy Advisor at climate think tank E3G.
