The wild celebration of the inclusion of "transitioning away from fosil fuel" in COP28 text is largely misplaced. While symbolical, it is political economy and NOT COP texts that will shape the action of states and companies. We need more than words to fight climate change.

Lest we forget: #1o5 in the #ParisAgreement is not a goal to achieve, but a threshold to avoid. The speed with which the planet has begun to flirt with 1.5C raises the alarm louder for more action & support on #mitigation #adaptation & #lossanddamage washingtonpost.com/climate-e…

The planet is warming so fast, it could cross a key climate limit in 2024

New research shows a planet on track to top a warming benchmark next year, but many at COP28 remain hopeful — too hopeful, in the eyes of some scientists.

Loud round of applause for Colombia Environment Minister @susanamuhamad at #COP28, calling for a fossil fuel phase out, reiterating #1o5 is not a goal but a limit. As 5th largest coal exporter, Colombia needs to transition and economic system should change to support this 👏
