COP28 is poised to become the first-ever UN international climate change conference to address the topic of ending fossil fuel usage head-on, according to various reports familiar with the summit's agenda.
Text calling for the eventual phase out of oil, gas and coal is reportedly currently under discussion at COP28, a position which has garnered support from major oil-producing countries including the United States, Norway, the United Arab Emirates and Colombia. This commitment would be non-binding, and would not commit countries to ending the use of fossil fuel by any single set date.
