Adveco: “The beginning of the end of fossil fuels…”

After tense days of negotiation, Chair of COP 28 Sultan al-Jaber this morning gavelled a new deal in what he has claimed to be a “historic moment.” It is “the beginning of the end of fossil fuels,” said Wopke Hoekstra, the European Union’s commissioner for climate action. He commented that the deal “could well be truly consequential,” since, for the first time, all countries are called upon to move away from the use of fossil fuels. This key agreement is seen to be crucial for securing the aim of limiting global warming to the vital 1.5C target.
