The negotiations have been taking place in Dubai, and breaking news suggests an agreement to move away from fossil fuels has been agreed, however, the words phase-out is not in the final text. What this means is the recognition of the need for deep, rapid and sustained reductions has been agreed, which is a milestone for a Cop, because no previous event has seen agreement on the need to move away from oil, gas and coal.
Are we on the right path now? We wait and see. In the meantime, alongside Cop28, Dr. David Ko and Richard Busellato, with SirCollins Manyasi and a dedicated team of climate advocates, hosted a virtual event called ‘12 Days of Cop,’ with the theme #Its4U. The news surrounding Cop28 often felt dark and hopeless, so this show was a bolt of bright light throughout the negotiations, as amazing people from across the world shared inspiring work happening in all corners of the world, but especially on the front lines, where the greatest impacts are already being felt.
So, what’s next? Our leaders - in government, business, the media and humanitarian organizations - have finally “read the room” and made a positive decision, which means we might finally be moving in the right direction at last, so come and join us this Friday, as we go through the results of Cop28, discuss #Its4U and what it means to you, as well as look ahead to 2024, and the on-going fight to ensure a live-able future for humanity and all life on earth. We will even talk about how we keep oil, gas and coal in the ground.
This is the last Climate Courage of 2023, so come and join us, make sure you ask lots of questions.
