🚨Breaking🚨 Nearly 200 countries have reached a historic agreement at the COP28 United Nations climate talks, signalling that the world will shift away from fossil fuels. It's far from a perfect text, but it heralds the beginning of the end for coal, oil and gas.
Next draft of COP28 Global Stocktake text is out. Calls on parties to contribute to global efforts to *triple renewables capacity by 2030* and *transition away from fossil fuels in energy systems*. Relevant paragraph here. https://t.co/4JZoT0CP91
