COP28 negotiators reached a breakthrough climate agreement that calls for slowly weaning the world off fossil fuels, the first time such language has been adopted, but no "phase out" as more than 100 countries sought.
Representatives of almost 200 nations agreed on Wednesday to begin collectively “transitioning away from fossil fuels in energy systems, in a just, orderly and equitable manner, accelerating action in this critical decade, so as to achieve net zero by 2050 in keeping with the science."
