COP28 is now on the verge of complete failure. The world desperately needs to phase out fossil fuels as quickly as possible, but this obsequious draft reads as if OPEC dictated it word for word. It is even worse than many had feared. It is “Of the Petrostates, By the Petrostates and For the Petrostates.” It is deeply offensive to all who have taken this process seriously. There are 24 hours left to show whose side the world is on: the side that wants to protect humanity’s future by kickstarting the orderly phase out of fossil fuels or the side of the petrostates and the leaders of the oil and gas companies that are fueling the historic climate catastrophe. In order to prevent COP28 from being the most embarrassing and dismal failure in 28 years of international climate negotiations, the final text must include clear language on phasing out fossil fuels. Anything else is a massive step backwards from where the world needs to be to truly address the climate crisis and make sure the 1.5°C goal doesn’t die in Dubai.

It's more than access; it's about saving lives. Trail bridges mean the difference between a dangerous 5-hour walk and reaching a hospital safely during childbirth. Help us empower women with safe access to healthcare. 👉 Donate now: rb.gy/3j1s8x 📷: Robb Hohmann

The typhoon in Fujian affecting 1.45 million people and causing an economic loss of 420 million dollars (3.045 billion yuan)! This is the heaviest typhoon in Fujian since 2016. Climate change is supercharging extreme weather events. There is no time to waste. #ActOnClimate

I’ve been showing this graph for years. Lets not kid ourselves, this is frankly an impossibility, but we have to do everything in our power to try. The alternative is unthinkable.

A reminder of how quickly global CO2 emissions would need to decline to keep global warming within the 1.5°C Paris limit. This looks… ambitious
