At the end of COP28 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, no agreement was reached on Tuesday evening, December 12. Oil-producing countries refuse to abandon fossil fuels.
At COP28, two worlds oppose each other: that of oil producers and that of countries that want to try to escape the consequences of global warming. In Dubai (United Arab Emirates), no agreement was reached on Tuesday evening, December 12. For around a hundred countries, the objective of this climate conference was to signal the exit from coal, gas and oil. In the text proposed on Monday, December 11, there is no clear mention of an exit, but of reducing the consumption and production of fossil fuels.
Some countries in the South are opposed to the exit from fossil fuels
“This text is insufficient”, regrets Agnès Pannier-Runacher, Minister of Energy Transition. Negotiations continue Tuesday evening. The European Union, the United States and several Pacific island countries are confronting oil-producing countries, such as Saudi Arabia and Russia, which are opposed to an exit from fossil fuels. “There are also a whole series of countries in the South (…) which say: ‘We need fossil fuels for our development’”explains François Gemenne, co-author of the 6th IPCC report.
