Talks at Cop28 set to intensify in bid to break impasse over fossil fuels

 Negotiations on how the world can slash greenhouse gas emissions and stave
off the worst impacts of the climate crisis will reach a fresh intensity
over the next few days, with nations wrangling over whether to phase out or
phase down fossil fuels.

For the remaining five negotiating days of the
Cop28 UN climate summit in Dubai ministers will hold a series of meetings
to try to break the impasse and present a text that sets out a roadmap for
staying within a rise of 1.5C of global heating above preindustrial levels.

Simon Stiell, the UN climate chief, told countries: “Now all governments
must give their negotiators clear marching orders – we need highest
ambition, not point-scoring or lowest common denominator politics. Good
intentions won’t halve emissions this decade or save lives right now.”
