The United Nations climate conference, COP28, is set to take place in Dubai in 2023. This will be the first time that the conference has been held in the Middle East, and it is expected to be a major turning point in the fight against climate change.
The future of fossil fuels is likely to be a major topic of discussion at COP28. The world is still on track to warm by more than 2 degrees Celsius, and this will have devastating consequences for the planet. In order to avoid this, we need to phase out fossil fuels and transition to clean energy sources.
There is some momentum for phasing out fossil fuels, and a group of countries has formed an alliance to do so. However, there are still many challenges that need to be overcome. The fossil fuel industry is powerful and well-connected, and it is not going to give up without a fight.
Wealthy nations have a responsibility to take the lead in the fight against climate change. They are the ones who have historically emitted the most greenhouse gases, and they have the resources to transition to clean energy.
The United States and China are the world’s two biggest polluters. They have a history of working together on climate issues, but there is no guarantee that they will be able to cooperate at COP28. The United States and China are also major consumers of fossil fuels, and they will need to find ways to reduce their reliance on these fuels.
COP28 is an important opportunity for the world to come together and agree on a plan to phase out fossil fuels. If we can do this, we can avoid the worst impacts of climate change and create a more sustainable future for all.
