Hopes for finishing a critical climate summit on time are fading as countries are still
00:05
far apart on key issues, including an agreement on what to do about fossil fuels causing dangerous
00:11
global warming.
00:13
COP28 is scheduled to finish around midday, but Monday's release of a draft agreement
00:17
has angered certain countries.
00:19
"This text is insufficient.
00:22
There are elements that are acceptable in the state.
00:28
It's a disappointment."
00:30
"The need for urgency to replace and reduce fossil fuels in the power sector in this critical
00:37
decade is completely missing.
00:41
The language on coal contradicts EU energy policies and it allows for new coal power
00:48
plants."
00:49
"The draft calls for countries to reduce consumption and production of fossil fuels in a 'orderly
00:57
and equitable' manner.
00:59
Campaigners say it's far from enough."
01:02
"So the Arabia and other fossil fuel producing nations have pushed back and eventually what
01:07
we are seeing a language which only talks about reducing consumption and production
01:12
of fossil fuels.
01:13
That's unacceptable.
01:14
We as civil society reject the text because we are already going through climate emergency."
01:19
A revised text is expected later Tuesday that takes into account many of the comments from
01:24
participants.
01:25
Final decisions by delegates have to be by consensus.
