António Guterres Instagram – The #COP28 Climate Conference occurred at a decisive moment in the fight against climate change that requires maximum ambition both in the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and climate justice.
Science tells us that limiting global heating to 1.5°C will be impossible without the phase out of fossil fuels. This was recognized by a growing and diverse coalition of countries at #COP28.
The era of fossil fuels must end – and it must end with justice and equity.
To those who opposed a clear reference to phase out of fossil fuels during COP28 I want to say:
Whether you like it or not, phase out is inevitable. Let’s hope it doesn’t come too late.
I remain confident that despite many differences, the world can unite and rise to the challenge of the climate emergency.
Multilateralism remains humanity’s best hope.
We must come together around real and practical solutions that match the scale of the crisis. | Posted on 13/Dec/2023 13:00:05
