Sultan Al Jaber officially opens COP28
Sultan Al Jaber has officially opened the 28th conference of parties (COP) climate summit in Dubai, after being handed a tiny hammer which marks the start of his presidency. In his first remarks at the opening ceremony, Al Jaber called on parties to deliver on the promise of a new loss and damage fund for countries struck by climate disasters. He also noted the importance of decarbonising the energy system, stating: “Let history reflect the fact that this is the Presidency that made a bold choice to proactively engage with oil and gas companies. We had many discussions. Let me tell you, it wasn’t easy. But now, many of these companies are committing to zeroing out methane emissions by 2030 for the first time. And many national oil companies have adopted net zero 2050 targets for the first time.”Read the full article:https://www.euronews.com/green/2023/11/30/cop28-latest-un-chief-says-climate-talks-should-aim-for-complete-phaseout-of-fossil-fuels
