/ world today news/ “We should be proud of our historic achievements… This is a strengthened, balanced, but undoubtedly historic package of accelerated climate action. This is the “Consensus from the UAE,” said Sultan Al-Jaber, President of the 28th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. World media evaluated the achievements of COP28 as a “hard-won historic agreement.”
The historical significance of the “UAE Consensus” is that it is the first formal agreement on “fossil fuel transition”. The French news agency France Press commented that this is the first time since the beginning of this conference that the countries have unanimously agreed to change fossil energy sources. “This result is the beginning of the fossil fuel phase-out,” said Simon Steele, executive secretary of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.
Analysts point out that the historic agreement cannot be reached without cooperation between China and the United States. During the recent meeting in San Francisco, the leaders of the two countries underlined their commitment to promote the success of COP28. This positive attitude of cooperation brings strength to the global response to the climate crisis.
Currently, green and low-carbon development has become a global consensus. The parties have made significant efforts and made some progress towards this goal. But compared to serious climate change, what matters most is how to implement the results of this year’s conference.
