COP28: Historic Achievement or Historic Failure?

COP28: Historic Achievement or Historic Failure?

By Global

The world agreed to 'transition' away from fossil fuels at the conclusion of the COP28 summit in Dubai. The COP28 President hailed it as 'historic' but many countries, particularly the micro-island states across the world - those at existential risk from climate change - are worried that the deal contains many loopholes that will allow countries to continue pumping and ramping up production of fossil fuels. How will we remember this COP28 - as a historic achievement, or a historic failure at just the moment when we needed wide-spread, robust and ambitious action. The President of COP26 - and Conservative MP - Sir Alok Sharma joins the programme.
