OPEC Leader Urges Members to Resist Fossil Fuel Phase-Out at COP 28
TL;DR Summary
The head of OPEC has urged members to reject any COP28 agreement that "targets" fossil fuels, highlighting deep divisions as the UN climate conference in Dubai enters its final week. A new draft of the final agreement includes options ranging from a "phase out of fossil fuels in line with best available science" to no language on them at all. At least 80 countries are demanding a COP28 agreement that calls for an eventual end to the use of fossil fuels, while Saudi Arabia remains a vocal holdout. The credibility of the COP process is at stake if leaders fail to agree on a fossil fuel phase-out.
