| “I hope you have seen the letter that has just been released, signed by over 1,000 Scientists, CEOs, Indigenous Peoples, Mayors, Governments, Youth, Health Professionals, and Faith Leaders – all urging Parties to come together around a rapid response to the Global Stocktake.” – President Al Jaber.
In an appeal initiated by Christiana Figueres, the former architecht behind the Paris Agreement, over 1,000 leaders signed their name to an open letter to the COP28 summit appealing once and for all that fossil fuels must be phased out.
Despite the overwhelming presence of fossil fuel lobbyists at COP28, it seems now that we may truly see tangible, actionable roadmaps for phasing out fossil fuels as a result of all our climate action.
We wanted to say "thank you" to everyone who read our newsletter yesterday, and signed their name to it. Your climate action has had real impact!
But how do we hold action accountable? Carbon Brief have published a great live tracker where everyone can follow the ongoing changes in the COP agreement, and keep track of negoations process as it plays out.
As for now, the word "phase out fossil fuel" is still in the draft text, 4 times! Let’s fight to keep it there! |
