Climate change paused, cleaner oceans and air, thriving biodiversity, all ambitions
00:07
that could be achieved through global consensus. The UAE is hosting the next UN Summit, COP
00:13
28, from November. One of its directors told the Associated Press he's optimistic but acknowledges
00:20
difficulties.
00:23
There are a significant number of countries that are opposed to the language of phase
00:28
out. The way the COP process works, and I think maybe this is part of the frustration
00:33
with the COP process, is that it works by consensus. You need only one country to say
00:38
no and you don't have an agreement.
00:40
As some countries, such as the UK, shy away from energy transition deadlines, can a summit
00:46
hosted by a major fossil fuel exporter offer credible solutions?
00:50
I hope. I hope they will be saying, "We didn't think that a process that we thought was blah,
00:55
blah, blah, could achieve an outcome of this sort." But that was the course correction
01:00
that the world needed to get us to a place of comfort for all of us.
01:07
Climate change protesters continue to challenge global leaders to change course. But eight
01:12
years after COP 21 in Paris agreed to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees C, it would
01:18
seem COP 28 has its work cut out to prevent deadlines from slipping and temperatures rising.
