COP28 must therefore gain global agreement to the rapid phase-down in the demand for and supply of all fossil fuels.

Key Points: 
  • COP28 must therefore gain global agreement to the rapid phase-down in the demand for and supply of all fossil fuels.
  • It is therefore also essential to rapidly phase down the demand for and supply of all fossil fuels.
  • "Any serious strategy to address the challenge of climate change must include commitments to run down the use and supply of fossil fuels.
  • They must be deployed as well as, not instead of, rapid reduction in fossil fuels use," said Ita Kettleborough, Director, Energy Transitions Commission.
