"UN Climate Talks in Dubai: Delegates Agree on Transitioning Away from Fossil Fuels, but Loopholes Remain"

Delegates at the COP28 Summit have agreed to "transition away" from fossil fuels in a historic move, according to the talks chief. The global stocktake document, which outlines how the world will address climate change, was approved without comments, leading to a standing ovation from delegates. However, critics raised concerns about loopholes in the agreement, and small island nations expressed disappointment that the deal did not go far enough in curbing fossil fuel use. The agreement also calls for tripling renewable energy use and doubling energy efficiency, while aiming for net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
