Global Push for Rapid Fossil Fuel Phase-Out to Combat Climate Crisis

A coalition of countries, including EU economies and climate-vulnerable nations, has called for an urgent transition away from fossil fuels to tackle climate change. The coalition, known as the High Ambition Coalition, emphasized the need for greenhouse gas emissions to peak by 2025 and be cut by 43% by 2030 compared to 2019 levels. They stressed the importance of a rapid decline in fossil fuel production and use within this decade, along with systemic transformations across all sectors. The statement comes as global temperatures reach record highs and countries face extreme weather events, highlighting the urgency to meet climate goals.
