At COP28 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, approximately 200 countries reached a landmark climate deal to transition away from fossil fuels. This agreement marks the first time 'fossil fuel' has been included in the final agreement. While not legally binding, it outlines eight pathways to achieve Net Zero by 2050, by tripling renewable energy or implementing carbon dioxide capture technologies. Critics expressed concerns that this murky wording might allow nations to evade instituting major changes and overlook funding for developing countries dependent on fossil fuels. While 2023 is ranked as the hottest year, activists are hopeful that this agreement will help move forward.
