Protester Disrupts COP28 Summit, Calls for End to Fossil Fuels

A 12-year-old climate activist from India, Licypriya Kangujam, interrupted the COP28 climate summit in Dubai by storming the stage with a sign that read "End fossil fuels. Save our planet and our future." Despite being escorted away, the audience applauded her actions. The United Nations talks in the United Arab Emirates, which bans organized groups, have limited public protests. The new draft text of a final deal does not directly address the phase-out of fossil fuels, a key demand of the European Union and vulnerable developing countries. The talks are set to conclude on Tuesday.
